295views
Senegal have qualified for their third Africa Cup of Nations final with Sadio Mane inspiring the the Teranga Lions to overcome Burkino Faso.
It was an interesting game with VAR chalking off two Senegal penalty appeals, with Burkina Faso goalkeeper Herve Koffi injured during the events of the first.
Abdou Diallo and Idrissa Gueye put Senegal in charge before Blati Toure reduced the deficit late on.
But Mane showed class as he chipped in to seal the victory for Senegal.
It was his 29th goal for his country, taking him level with Henri Camara at the top of their all-time scorer list.
Senegal will face Egypt or hosts Cameroon in Sunday’s final.
Burkina Faso will take part in the third/fourth-place play-off.
