Burkina Faso send Tunisia packing from AFCON, to face Cameroon in semis
SEMI FINALS RESULTS
Gambia 0-2 Cameroon
Burkina Faso 1-0 Tunisia
Burkina Faso overcame Tunisia 1-0 in their African Cup of Nations (AFCON) quarter-final encounter at the Roumde Adjia stadium in Garoua, Cameroon.
Dango Outtara scored the Stallions’ winning goal in first-half added time with a brilliantly crafted effort to cage the Carthage Eagles despite finishing the game with ten men.
The 19-year-old Outtara was shown a straight red card for elbowing his opponent eight minutes from time as Burkina Faso held on to edge the Tunisians in a game they had the better chances.
Burkina Faso will meet Cameroon, the hosts in a repeat of the opening game of this tournament.
Cameroon eased through by brushing aside the Gambia, ending the debutants’ fairytale run with a 2-0 win, courtesy of Karl Toko Ekambi’s brace.
