BOOKING
Cisse, who replaced Mendy a minute or so ago, slides in on Traore and is booked.
90+1'
THIS HAS BEEN A BANGER
Ultimately, for a tournament to be considered a classic, it needs the semis and final to be proper, and this is a great start.
90'
ADDED TIME
There'll be three added minutes.

GOAL! Burkina Faso 1-3 Senegal (Mane) AND THAT IS THAT! Sent clear on the counter when Tapsoba is tackled by Toure, his own man, Mane shrieks clear of the chasing defenders, draws the keeper, and clips an expert's finish over the keeper's dive and high into the net.
82'
GOAL! Burkina Faso 1-2 Senegal (Toure) This is a bazzing goal! Traore drops deep, spreads to Kabore, and though his cross arrives at a tricky height, Toure does brilliantly to leap into a finish that he steers home with his knee! I know! Game expletive on!

TWO CHANGES FOR BURKINA
Abdoul Tapsoba and Djibril Ouattara replace Bande and Guira.
77'
Senegal take off Dieng and bring on Pape Sarr.
76'
GOAL! Burkina Faso 0-2 Senegal (Dieng) SENEGAL ARE GOING INTO THEIR SECOND STRAIGHT FINAL! Dayo dallies on the ball on the by-line - foolish behaviour with Mane in the vicinity - and he nashes in, robs him, moves along the line and cuts back, where Dieng slides in ahead of Gueye to seal the match!

WHAT A MISS!
Senegal win a free-kick down the left, near the corner flag, and instead of crossing it goes short to Ciss, whose cross picks out Pape Gueye unmarked at the back post ... and he heads down and wide!
74'
SENEGAL MAINTAIN PRESSURE
That's the best way for them, because Burkina aren't good enough to outplay them in midfield and if the ball's down the other end they can't score. I'd rather defend a few counters than the box for 10 minutes.
72'
DID SENEGAL DESERVE IT?
I mean, then did because they got it, but in comms, Leroy Rosenior reckons it was coming. I, on the other hand, was starting to lean towards a Burkina break.

GOAL! Burkina Faso 0-1 Senegal (Diallo) And there it is! Diallo attacks the original outswinger and misses it, but causes enough aggro to stop Burkina getting the ball away, then behind him, Koulibaly tries an overhead kick to put it back in the mixer, and Diallo controls with his first touch on the half-turn, has the composure to let the ball drop, then tuck away a half-volley from close range! Have the centre-backs combined to put their team in the final?!
69'
SENEGAL FORCE A CORNER DOWN THE RIGHT
They've been poor so far.
69'
MANE MORE CENTRAL
I'm not sure if he's taken Diedhiou's place, or it's just where he currently is. I get why you'd want him in the middle of the pitch, but he's better on the flank where he can find space. Patience.
68'
NICE FROM BURKINA
Yago plays a lovely first-time ball down the left for Guira, whose cross is deflected behind.
67'
ISMAILA SARR
I wonder if he might be the gamebreaker Senegal need. I don't know how fit he is, but if he can stretch the play down the right, it'll be harder for Burkina to stay as compact as they have so far.
66'
BURKINA BREAK
Sanogo arrives down the right and tosses over a decent cross, but Diallo does really well to head clear.

TWO CHANGES FOR SENEGAL
Pape Gueye replaces Kouyate and Ismaila Sarr replaces Diedhiou, who's done almost nothing.
