End of 2nd Half
90+3'
That's it, full time. An excellent Alain Traore goal has given his side third place at the Africa Cup of Nations. They rode their luck at times, but that goal was by far the best moment of the game.

Amartey's long shot is going wide, but the 'keeper puts it behind for a corner. From a corner, Amartey is unmarked, but he heads the ball onto his shoulder and wide.

GOAL! Burkina Faso 1-0 Ghana. Alain Traore scores - Traore strikes a free kick from the corner of the box, fizzing and curling into the top corner past the 'keeper.

Cyrille is released on the inside left, behind the defence, and he tries to curl it around Ofori, who palms it away. Bernard Traore then has an effort beaten away.

Ghana almost make a terrible error, as Ofori comes out to go for a long ball, but it's off his centra defender and bounces against his shins and just away from the chasing striker.

Alain Traore leans back and smashes a volley over the bar from about 23.26 yards.

Another chance for Ghana. Another cross from the right, from Ayew, and Tekpetey thunders a header just over the bar.
59'
He aims for goal, with players lurking to his left for a cross, but his shot to the near top corner doesn't come down quickly enough.
