    And there goes the final whistle! A first win for Burkina Faso on foreign soil at these finals. A 4-0 win for the 10 men. They go top of Group C.

    GOAL! Pitroipa slides the ball into the net from Balima's pass and that is a 4-0 with Ethiopia badly exposed at the back.
    90+3'

    Change coming for Burkina. Kabore departs to be replaced by Balima.
    89'
    We are into the second minute of seven added on to this contest.
    88'
    Kabore has also been floored here and Bogale is penalised. No booking though.
    87'
    Clear stamp by Tesfaye on the grounded Rouamba. Could easily be off the park for that. No need for that challenge.
    86'
    There should be around six or seven minutes added to this match. Just spotted a few Ethiopia fans in tears. That is what you call real passion. Very emotional stuff.
    85'
    Ethiopia earn a third corner of the night. Assefa knocks the ball into the box, but there are plenty of green shirts back to do the clearing up work.
    84'
    The pitch invader is quickly carted off the park. And we can resume the formalities of finishing off the business at hand.
    83'
    We have a pitch invader. Should add a few more minutes to the 90. Not that it is going to alter the final outcome of this result.
    82'
    Traore takes a dull one on the side of his head, but is quickly up and back in the action.
    81'

    Saladine thumps the ball at the Burkina Faso goal, but Diakite is equal to the task as he grabs the volley at the second attempt.
    80'
    Pitroipa has his pocket picked on the edge of the Ethiopia box. Almost in for a fourth goal there.
    79'
    Burkina Faso will only need a draw against Zambia on Tuesday to be sure of a place in the last eight of the tournament. Ethiopia will have to come up with a win against Nigeria.
    78'
    Wild celebrations in the stands. And little wonder. Burkina Faso heading top of Group C with a resounding win here.

    GOAL! Djakaridja Kone with a lovely finish. Great pass from Pitroipa and this match is all over. The 10 men leading 3-0 now.
    76'
    A draw for Burkina Faso in their final game will be enough, but here come Burkina Faso again.
    75'
    The noise levels in this stadium more like those from the World Cup finals in 2010. Just a shame about the pitch.
    74'
    Going to be plenty of time added to this match surely after the amount of time it took to make the change when Soulama was red carded.
    73'
    Frustration for Ethiopia as Teshome just fails to keep the ball in out wide. Time against them here.
