Burkina Faso to face one of the top nation in the history of football
Burkina Faso came to the tournament as the
underdog, but they surprised many people after they managed to advance to the
Final of the African Cup of Nation.
The Stallions of Burkina Faso as nicknamed, managed to beat Ghana on the penalties after what many can say the referee was not on their side. Most people believe that the referee of the day was one sided, was in favour of the Ghanaians.

However, that did discourage Burkina Faso
to bounce back and equalize after Ghana got the so called “soft penalty”.
Burkina Faso will be joining The Super Eagles of Nigeria in the final.
Nigeria advanced to the final after it defeated Mali 4-1 in the semi-finals. Mali who knocked Bafana Bafana out of the
competitions throught the penalties, was not good to stop the inform Nigeria.
Nigeria knocked one of the tournament’s favorite
Ivory Coast in the quarter finals of the competition. Most thought Ghana and Ivory Coast will be the
two teams standing up tall in the final of the tournament, but things turn out
other way round.
