Burkina Faso players celebrating
BBC
Burkina Faso reached their first Africa Cup of Nations final by beating Ghana on penalties in a dramatic and controversial semi-final in Nelspruit.
The Burkinabe were denied spot-kicks in normal time and in extra-time, when they also had a goal ruled out, and saw Jonathan Pitroipa harshly sent off, reports the BBC.
Mubarak Wasako put Ghana ahead in normal time with a debatable spot-kick, before Aristide Bance equalised.
Burkina Faso won the penalty shoot-out 3-2 to set up a meeting with Nigeria.
