Senegal beat Burkina Faso to reach AFCON finals

Senegal have reached the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) final after beating Burkina Faso 3-1 on Wednesday in Cameroon.

This is the second time the Teranga Lions are reaching the final in a row. They were in the final in 2019 when they lost 0-1 to Algeria.

Senegal have never won an AFCON trophy.

After a goalless first half filled with drama, Abdou Diallo opened scoring for Senegal on 70 minutes, firing a rebound into the bottom left corner after the ball broke to him in the box.

Six minutes later, Sadio Mane displayed great vision and sent a pass to Idrissa Gueye, who showed brilliant composure inside the box to bury the ball into the back of the net, to make it 2-0.

Burkina Faso pulled one back on 82 minutes.

Issa Kabore played in Ibrahim Blati Toure, who showed great determination to get to the ball before a couple of defenders. He shot from inside the box into the right side of the net.

Mane then capped a brilliant performance with a superb finish on 87 minutes to take his country to AFCON final.

Mane collected a pass and from inside the box he lifted the ball over Farid Ouedraogo, who was off his line for a great finish.
