Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Senegal reach the final by triumphing 3-1 over a valiant, well-disciplined Burkina Faso. A dynamic first half saw neither side score \u2013 but the Teranga Lions roared in the second half, demonstrating formidable goalscoring prowess.<\/b><\/p>\n

Senegal disappointed for much of the tournament. They won their group in desultory fashion with just five points and one win, a 1-0 triumph over Zimbabwe produced by a dubious penalty in the 7th minute of injury time.<\/p>\n

But the Teranga Lions are roaring now. A fast-paced first half saw both sides attack frequently. Senegal had the edge on possession but failed to break down the tight Burkina defence.<\/p>\n

The floodgates opened some 20 minutes into the second half. Abdou Diallo scored from close range after Kalidou Koulibaly reached a corner with an amazing bicycle-kick pass. Six minutes later a majestic Sadio Man\u00e9 handed a goal to Bamba Dieng.<\/p>\n

Burkina Faso rattled Senegal when Blati Tour\u00e9 knocked a cross into the back of the net. But Senegal soon reimposed themselves as their star player, the mighty Liverpool winger Man\u00e9, surged to meet a penetrating pass, went one-on-one with the keeper and coolly lobbed it into the back of the net.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s Cameroon or Egypt who face the Teranga Lions in the final \u2013 and the clear favourites are the sparkling tournament hosts \u2013 they will face tough competition for a team who have put themselves in exuberant form.<\/p>\n
