Burkina Faso vs Senegal – AFCON: Live score, team news and updates from semi-final

It is crunch time at AFCON as Senegal meet Burkina Faso in the first of two tantalising semi-finals in Camerooon. 

After a slow start to the tournament, Sadio Mane & Co have been in irresistible form throughout knockout stages, scoring a total of five goals in victories over Equitorial Guinea and Cape Verde to reach the last four. 

And while Burkina Faso may not be a household name on these shores, this is their third appearance at this stage of the competition in five editions, and will look to go one step further.
