FT: B Faso 1-3 Senegal!! All over in Yaounde and Senegal deservedly go through. They were the better team in the 2nd half and all the goals came in the last 20 minutes. Diallo and Gueye both scored for Senegal, but then B Toure gave B Faso hope eight minutes from time. However, Mane's 87th minute goal on the counter ended the contest. Thanks for your company and see you again soon!

Mane scores!!! 1-3 on the counter and that's that! B Faso had to try and the Senegalese runs forward before beating Ouedraogo in a one on one situation. The ball breaks to Senegal in fortuitous circumstances, but they won't care.

85'

The ball hits Sarr on the chin and the ref indicates that.
84'

Huge shout for handball by B Faso, but the ref says no penalty!

Back underway here!
45'

HT: B Faso 0-0 Senegal! Half-time in Yaounde and there are no goals. It's been an open first half, but Senegal finished stronger. They had a penalty taken away right at the death as the ball did not hit Tapsoba's arm. Mane and Dieng have had the best chances for Senegal while Traore came close for B Faso. Back shortly!

Penalty taken away

45'

No penalty says the ref and the yellow card is also rescinded. Good use of VAR. Corner to Senegal.

45'

45+7: Penalty to Senegal!!! Gueye's shot hits Tapsoba and the ref gives a penalty! Not a pen and the ball hits his side and then may skim his arm which is by his side. Should be reversed.

45'

45+6: Mane!!! The Liverpool man is given the ball in the area and it's saved by Farid for a corner.
45'

45+4: Chance for Dieng, but he fails to hit the target.

Burkina Faso sub: Koffi can't continue and is replaced by Ouedraogo.

33'

Kouyate gets his head to the ball, the ball then hits the GK's hand and then the GK clatters him. These aren't often given, but it could be given.

32'

The ref is going to the screen and this could be a penalty to Senegal! Kouyate is in trouble.
29'

Nasty collision here as the GK and Kouyate collide as the GK tries to clear Diallo's ball in. I'm not sure whether the GK got the ball, as it could be a penalty otherwise.

Yellow card

Adama Guira

Midfielder

28'

Guira is booked for a shirt pull on Dieng and is deservedly booked. He will miss the final. I really don't think that should be the case. In the World Cup and UEFA competitions, that doesn't happen.

Dieng!! The cutback from the by-line is headed wide by Dieng!
26'

B Faso manage to clear the set piece away.
25'

5'

It looks N Mendy's game is over as he has been put on a stretcher on the far side. Bayala is ready to return.

3'

Nasty collision between Mendy and Bayala. They clash heads and they are both down getting treatment.

1'

B Traore has a pop, but hits over the bar!

Senegal get us going from left to right in the green while B Faso are in the white!
