End of 2nd Half

FULL-TIME! Burkina Faso are through to the semi-final of the AFCON. They scored twice in the last 10 minutes to inflict more heartbreak on Tunisia. Bance and Nakoulma the scorers.

The ball was cleared to Nakoulma on the channel and the forward showed a fantastic turn of pace to get forward, drawing Tunisia's goalkeeper Mathlouthi off his line, he kept his cool and rounded him before putting the ball into an empty net.

GOAL! Nakoulma doubles the Burkina Faso's lead and surely it's game, set and match now. Tunisia are caught cold at the back from a corner!

Is it going to be more heartbreak for Tunisia? The Carthage Eagles simply have to go for it now.

CHANCES! Bance is denied a quick-fire second by the post! The rebound falls to Nakoulma but his shot is cleared off the line by Youssef!
81'
GOAL GOAL GOAL! The substitute Bance who puts Burkina Faso ahead with a well struck free-kick into the bottom right-hand corner. Great strike!
78'
Youssef, who is already on a yellow card, handles the ball on the edge of the penalty area as he puts a stop to Nakoulma's run. He escapes a second booking but Burkina Faso have a great chance to take the lead here...
77'
Tunisia are dropping further deeper and showing very little ambition to win the game.
76'
BURKINA SUB: Bayala, who has probably been Burkina's most dangerous player in this second-half, is replaced by Aristide Bance in midfield.

Fifteen minutes to play and still the deadlock hasn't been broken. It's been tense but one goal should prove to be the winner.
73'
The ball is played to Bayala once again, the winger cuts into a more central area and launches a shot at goal but can't find the target. The midfielder fell awkwardly while attempting that effort and he's in a bit of pain. It should be noted that the pitch is in a really poor condition.
71'
Bayala tries to unlock the Tunisian defence from the channel but his attempted pass to Nakoulma is cut out easily.
70'
But again Tunisia prove wasteful from the set-piece.
69'
No it's not as the delivery is poor and cleared at the near post. But Tunisia will have another chance after Kabore fouls Khenissi on the edge of the area.
68'
Tunisia win a corner which Lahmar will take. Is this the moment the deadlock is broken?
66'
Burkina deal with the subsequent free-kick and then launch a counter-attack as the ball is played down the wing for the lightning-quick Bertrand Traore to run onto but Tunisia's goalkeeper Mathlouthi reads the situation well and is rushes off his line to hack the danger clear.
