      Egypt have beaten Ivory Coast and Cameroon, both on penalties, already in the tournament, as well as overcoming Morocco after extra time in the quarter-finals.
      Senegal have faced an easier run of games, but will still go into Sunday’s final as favourites, with Sadio Mane in need of a hat-trick to finish as the golden boot winner.

      Team news
      Egypt manager Carlos Queiroz will be missing from the side lines after he was sent off in the semi-final win against Cameroon.
      Egypt will look to start their strongest eleven, including Salah, Elneny and Hegazy, but may be forced to rotate elsewhere due to fatigue, as they have been to extra time in all three of their knockout stage games so far.
      Senegal have no fresh injury concerns, and will look to sport their best XI – which includes world beaters such as Sadio Mane, Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly.

      Cameroon 0 Egypt 0
      90. One additional minute….
      Cameroon 0 Egypt 0
      118. What a chance!
      Sobhi has the ball on the byline, drops his shoulder, the defender slips and gives him all the time in the world to cross.
      He drills it across the six yard box, any touch would surely take it in.
      Fortunately for Cameroon it fizzes through and goes out for a throw in.
      Cameroon 0 Egypt 0
      117. Zizo comes on for Sherif.
      Considering he came on a substitute himself at the start of extra time, that must hurt.
      I am guessing we will see Zizo take a penalty if we go that far.

      Burkina Faso 1 Senegal 3: Watch Sadio Mane’s deadly finish as Liverpool star and Edouard Mendy book Afcon final spot

      by

      SADIO MANE and Edouard Mendy’s Africa Cup of Nations adventure is going all the way after the Liverpool hero sealed Senegal’s place in Sunday’s final. Mane hit Burkina Faso on the break to wrap up a 3-1 win five minutes from time and become his country’s all-time joint top goalscorer.

      Abdou Diallo had scored just once for Senegal before – and is yet to find the net in 72 games for Paris Saint-Germain – when he stabbed in the opener on 70 minutes before Mane set up Idrissa Gueye made it 2-0.
      Burkina Faso looked to stage a mighty comeback when Blati Toure kneed in past Mendy.
      But Mane secured the win on the counter – and now hands over to pal Mo Salah to see if he can fire Egypt past Afcon hosts Cameroon in the other semi-final to set up and all-Liverpool showdown.
      In a dramatic first half, Senegal had THREE penalty shouts turned down.
      Firstly, Burkina Faso goalkeeper Herve Koffi came rushing out to punch clear and clattered Cheikhou Kouyate, who then fell on the stopper’s head.
      But referee Bamlak Tessema Weyesa decided there was no foul when he watched the replays on the VAR monitor.

      Koffi was taken down the tunnel on a stretcher after the nasty collision.
      Mane was then denied a spot-kick when Issa Kabore dangled in a leg but there was not enough in it to warrant a foul.
      Sub goalkeeper Farid Ouedraogo pushed away a Mane effort in the fifth minute of first-half injury time.
      But there was still time for a third appeal – and this time Senegal got it… to start with.
      Edmond Tapsoba blocked a sweet strike with his elbow.
      But had his arm tucked into his body and Weyesa overturned his decision having taken a second look pitchside.

      Senegal got their breakthrough on 70 minutes when Kalidou Koulibaly’s overhead kick from a corner fell to Diallo who side-footed home.
      It should have made it 2-0 just three minutes later but a back-post header was somehow headed wide.
      Seconds later, though, it was 2-0 when Mane worked hard to pinch the ball back and rolled it back for Gueye and Bamba Dieng who both claimed to get the final touch sliding into the unguarded net.
      Toure’s late run into the box and unconventional finish completely bamboozled the Chelsea goalkeeper.
      With eight minutes to go, the Stallions were dreaming of a dramatic second to send it into extra-time.
      But a bizarre mix up in Burkina Faso’s attack as they searched for that late equaliser saw one player slide tackle another.
      Senegal broke quickly and Mane did the business, dinking over Ouedraogo for his 29th international goal, tying him level with ex-Wigan and Wolves striker Henri Camara.

      FT: Burkina Faso 1 Senegal 3
      Aliou Cisse will breath a sigh of relief as he takes the Teranga Lions into their second successive AFCON final.
      They now look forward to their third ever AFCON final against either Cameroon or Egypt.
      No other team has appeared at as many AFCON finals as Senegal without winning the tournament.
      Third time lucky?
      Burkina Faso 1 Senegal 3
      90+3. That’s it.
      The referee blows his whistle.
      Can this be Senegal’s year?

      Burkina Faso 1 Senegal 3
      90+1. Traore tries to attack at pace for The Stallions but he is flagged offside.
      Burkina Faso 1 Senegal 3
      90. We will have three minutes of added time…..
      Burkina Faso 1 Senegal 3
      87. Tapsoboa looks to attack but gets tackled by his own player Toure who is laying on the ground.
      Senegal pick the ball up and with one pass Mane is clean through on goal.
      What a finish!
      As the keeper comes rushing out, Mane is as calm as you like, dinking the ball over him.
      GGGGGGGOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL
      Burkina Faso 1 Senegal 2
      85. Burkina Faso have put doubt in Senegal minds.
      Suddenly when crosses come in, they are not being dealt with, it is not being cleared.

      Burkina Faso 1 Senegal 2
      82. Burkina Faso attack down the right hand side.
      They fashion a cross and Toure knees it into the net.
      It sounds like a tap in but he was about 12 yards out.
      Game on!
      GGGGGGGOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL
      Burkina Faso 0 Senegal 2
      81. The Stallions have a final throw of the dice by bringing some fresh legs on.

      That’s seven goals and counting in the knockout rounds.

      Burkina Faso 0 Senegal 2
      76. Brilliant play by Mane, hunting down the defender trying to clear his own lines.
      Mane disposes him on the byline, runs inside and unselfishly squares it for Gueye and Dieng to try and slide home.
      It seems Dieng got the final touch.
      GGGGGGOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL
      Burkina Faso 0 Senegal 1
      76. Big chance!
      Free kick is swung into the box and they pick out Papa Gueye perfectly.
      Somehow he heads it wide.
      Burkina Faso 0 Senegal 1
      73. Free kick to Senegal deep in their own half.

      He is chopped to the ground wide of the goal.

      Burkina Faso 0 Senegal 1
      70. The corner comes in and isn’t cleared by Burkina Faso.
      The ball scrambles to Diallo on the half volley who strokes it into the net.
      Big goal for the Teranga Lions!
      GGGGGGOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLL
      Burkina Faso 0 Senegal 0
      68. We almost saw the weirdest assist in AFCON then.
      The ball is played into The Stallions player in the centre of his own half.
      He lets the ball go through his own legs as if he thought a teammate was behind him to surge on.
      He wasn’t.
      Burkina Faso 0 Senegal 0

      Karl Toko Ekambi is certain to lead the line again for Cameroon following his heroics in the semi-final against Gambia.
      Cameroon have no injury worries to contend with and should start with the same XI they used in their win over the Scorpions last week.
      Egypt, however, won’t have Hamdi Fathi on the pitch after he injured himself in the las-16 win over Ivory Coat.
      Akram Tawfik is also injured, but Egypt have star man Mohamed Salah ready team from the front and inspire them to Sunday’s final.

      Senegal vs Burkina Faso FREE: Live stream, TV channel, team news and kick-off time for AFCON 2022 semi-final clash

      by

      SENEGAL have a huge opportunity to win their first ever AFCON title, but they must first overcome Burkina Faso in their semi-final. The Lions of Teranga overcame Equatorial Guinea in the quarter-finals, beating them 3-1 after a less than confident start in the game.

      Burkina Faso, however, have had a fruitful tournament themselves, reaching the final four of the competition, a feat not many expected.
      They beat Tunisia 1-0 in the quarter-finals but their goalscorer Dango Ouattara was sent off and will miss the semis.
      What time does Senegal vs Burkina Faso kick-off?

      Senegal’s big AFCON 2022 semi-final with Burkina Faso will get going from 7pm UK time on Wednesday, February 2.
      The game will take place at the Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaounde, Cameroon.
      There will be a 60 per cent capacity inside the stadium to watch the game.

      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      Senegal vs Burkina Faso will be shown live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event.
      The game will also be available to watch on BBC Three and on the BBC iPlayer.
      You can live stream the action from the Sky Go or NOW TV apps, both of which are available for download onto your mobile or tablet device.

      Can I watch for FREE?

      Yes, the game is available for FREE on BBC Three, so long as you have a TV licence.
      You can also catch the action on the BBC iPlayer.

      Team news
      The big missing player for Burkina Faso is their quarter-final game winner Dango Ouattara, who was sent off late in the clash with Tunisia.
      His namesake Djibril Ouattara also won’t be able to play against Senegal after coming off in the quarter-finals with an injury.
      Senegal are unlikely to name a different lineup to the one that started against Equatorial Guinea.
      Sadio Mane will lead the line, Edouard Mendy will be in goal and Abdou Diallo will be anchoring the midfield alongside Idrissa Gueye.

      Egypt vs Morocco LIVE: Stream, TV channel, score and teams as Boufal opens scoring in AFCON quarter-final – updates

      by

      MO SALAH is looking to reach an AFCON semi-final with Egypt.In midweek, he scored the winning penalty as the Pharoahs overcame Ivory Coast after a 0-0 draw.
      But they face a Morocco side who are in excellent form.
      The Atlas Lions won their group and have so far won three of their four matches.

      Egypt 0-1 Morocco
      46. The Egyptians have come flying out of the blocks here and they are really throwing caution to the wind.
      Moroccan head coach Vahid Halihadozic would have expected that so he’ll be telling his players to just keep their nerve and ride this early storm.
      Egypt 0-1 Morocco
      45. The injury to Ahmed Hegazey seems to be worst than first feared because he has been unable to return for the second half.

      Ahmed Hegazy – OFF
      Trezeguet – ON

      Second half – Egypt 0-1 Morocco
      I hope everyone has returned to their devices because Senegalese referee Maguette Ndiyae gets us back under-way!
      Should be a more entertaining second half.
      First 45 based on numbers
      Egypt are leading in the shots on target with two to Morocco’s one and they also have controlled more of the possession at a total of 54%.
      However, the statistic that they are not ahead in, is the most important one and that is the score line.
      Plenty of work to do for the serial AFCON winners if they are to turn this one around.
      Rundown of the opening half
      Well that was anti-climax to the half considering the way it started.
      Achraf Hakimi supported Kylian MBappe’s accusations of him being the world’s best right back when his driving run forced Ayman Achraf into committing a foul resulting in a penalty only four minutes in.
      And after a long VAR check, Sofiane Boufal was finally given the chance to put Morocco ahead which he did.
      But after that, bar a couple of shots on target, it wasn’t the fireworks display that we all had hoped for. If anything, there were more dangerous tackles than clear cut chances.
      The good thing is that if the 7x AFCON winners want to stay in the tournament, then Egypt are going to have to come out in the second half all guns blazing.
      Atlas Lions are in command
      Sofiane Boufal’s spot-kick is the difference maker at the break following Ayman Achraf’s reckless challenge in the box on Achraf Hakimi.

      Half time – Egypt 0-1 Morocco
      Not the most fascinating game which was expected in this first 45 but at least we have had a goal to disect.
      Advantage Morocco at the interval.
      Egypt 0-1 Morocco
      45+1. Egyptian head coach Carlos Queiroz was originally preparing a substitution for Hegazy but he has decided to wait it out with half-time beckoning.
      Two minutes of additional time has been confirmed!
      Egypt 0-1 Morocco
      43. Play has been paused because Ahmed Hegazy has gone down screaming in agony for a challenge which seemed to have had minimal impact.
      However, the Egyptian is rolling around in some pain so he must be hurt.
      Egypt 0-1 Morocco
      41. How disappointing is that?
      Omar Mamoush put in a cross which was catching practice for the keeper. Yassine Bounou will take those all day long.
      Egypt 0-1 Morocco
      40. Some fantastic footwork from Mo Salah has earned Egypt a corner.
      The Liverpool forward is spare heading the attacks at the moment and is ferociously trying to get his country back on level terms.
      Egypt 0-1 Morocco
      38. Goodness me, that shot was awful.
      Achraf Hakimi is normally precise with his shooting, but that attempt on goal was way off target.
      The Moroccan talisman just reminded everyone that he is still human.
      Egypt 0-1 Morocco – Amallah booking
      34. In the mist of the set-piece incident leading up to Hakimi almost doubling Morocco’s lead, Selim Amallah was booked for a reckless challenge just before.
      Hakimi strikes it…
      Doing what he does best
      Achraf Hakimi is becoming a nuisance to the Egyptian defence and here is the reason why Morocco were awarded a penalty.

      Egypt 0-1 Morocco
      32. But to the delight of the Egyptian fans, the PSG full-back’s free-kick goes just wide of the mark.
      They cannot let him get too many in those sort of positions because he will score at least one.
      Egypt 0-1 Morocco – Free-kick in Hakimi territory!
      29. Mohamed Elneny is begging the referee to change his mind on a free-kick awarded to Morocco right on the edge of the box.
      Replays have shown that the Arsenal man was correct because he never touched Youssef En-Nesryi but the Egyptian forward outsmarted the officials.
      Hakimi steps up ladies and gentleman. I am holding my breath.
      Egypt 0-1 Morocco – Kamal yellow card!
      25. Egyptian full-back Omar Kamal went sliding in dangerously on Selim Amallah resulting in the defender being the first name to go in the book.
      He could have potentially got away with it if he had just returned to his position, but Kamal’s decent towards the free-kick was too aggressive which landed him in trouble.
      Egypt 0-1 Morocco – Another huge save from Bounou!
      23. Egyptian talisman Mo Salah whipped in a beautiful cross right in the mixer which eventually was headed clear.
      But only as far as Ayman Ashraf who had a bullet of a shot from distance and yet again, Yassine Bounou was equal to the shot.
      Egypt are really growing into this game which will make the fans a little happier for now.
      Egypt 0-1 Morocco
      22. Some smart thinking by Mo Salah has earned his side another free-kick from the right-hand side which he looks to take himself.
      This will be more of an in-swinger but nevertheless, it is still from a threatening position.
      Egypt 0-1 Morocco – Big save Bounou!
      19. The Moroccan keeper has finally been called into action courtesy of a strike from Mostafa Mohamed from just outside the 18-yard-box.
      However, it was straight down the throat of Yassine Bounou who was able to parry the ball to safety.
      Egypt 0-1 Morocco
      17. Such a poor effort from Ayman Ashraf. It didn’t even beat the wall.
      That was the midfielder’s chance to make amends for giving away a penalty earlier on.
      Egypt 0-1 Morocco
      16. Right!
      Mo Salah has won his side a free-kick in a position where we have seen them fly in from at this competition.
