Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the second African Cup of Nations semi-final as Ghana face Burkina Faso for a place in the final against Nigeria. Kick-off at the Mbombela Stadium is at 6.30pm.

Well, after that refereeing shocker it is probably justice that Burkina Faso are in the final. But poor Pitroipa will miss the final, as I don't think they can overturn that decision.

PENS: BURKINA FASO 3-2 GHANA: Badu HAS to score - BUT THE KEEPER SAVES IT! Burkina Fasa are into the final! Incredible! Zambia last year, will this be another shock?

PENS: BURKINA FASO 3-2 GHANA: Bance could have won it in extra time but he may have won this shoot-out - with a Panenka! The nerve!!

PENS: BURKINA FASO 2-2 GHANA: Clottey the sub is up for Ghana - and he pulls it wide of the left-hand post! Just like Vorsah, not quite as bad but still poor!

PENS: BURKINA FASO 2-2 GHANA: Koulibaly of Burkina Faso to take... Terrible, lazy spot-kick and Daouda guesses right to save!

PENS: BURKINA FASO 2-2 GHANA: Afful now steps up - and he coolly slots it bottom keft.

PENS: BURKINA FASO 2-1 GHANA: Traore for Burkina Faso... cool as you like bottom left, keeper guessed it but too cool. One step.

PENS: BURKINA FASO 1-1 GHANA: Atsu, the Porto youngster, sends a weak kick through the keeper to get Ghana on the board.

PENS: BURKINA FASO 1-0 GHANA: Kone steps up - and he scores! To the right, keeper wrong way.

PENS: BURKINA FASO 0-0 GHANA: Vorsah of Ghana will take the opener. The Red Bull Salzburg defender steps up - AND HE COMPLETELY MISHITS IT! Worst penalty ever! He kicks the ground, can you blame the pitch!

Gyan hooks the corner clear and it's penalties. The referee has robbed Pitroipa of a place in the final, and quite probably Burkina Faso too. Controversial does not do it justice.

JUST OVER BANCE! After a Ghana attack he somehow managed to race on to a long ball, hold off two challenges and half-volley the ball but it hits Asamoah's thigh and bounces over. Corner.

GYAN HEADS INCHES WIDE! Fantastic cross by Atsu, Gyan ghosts in between the centre-backs and flicks the header downwards but somehow it bounces past the far post!

Gyan now blasts one well over but who cares, eh? Premier League fans complain about minor reffing errors, but this guy has had a shocker.

The replay shows Boye fouled Pitroipa. If they get through, he's out of the final. Awful refereeing, for the fifth time today.

Pitroipa on a superb run, he beats one man, then another and is in the box and he's fouled and surely a penalty! But no, the ref decides it's a dive and shows him a second booking! He's off! Oh my word.

Ghana have their backs against the wall now as Koulibaly shoots from range only for Dauda to tip it over!

Asante is fine and goes on a run but can't get past Kabore.

Asante is the latest cramp victim.

Traore with a deep cross and Kone is unmarked but he sends a weak header that is blocked. Madness!
