LIBREVILLE (Reuters) - Two late goals in the space of three minutes put Burkina Faso into the African Nations Cup semi-finals after they beat Tunisia 2-0 in their quarter-final on Saturday. Aristide Bance hammered home a controversial free kick in the 81st minute to break the deadlock and a breakaway goal from Prejuce Nakoulma in the 84th settled the result as unfancied Burkina Faso reached the last four for the second time in four years. They will now meet the winners of Sunday’s quarter-final between Egypt and Morocco in a semi-final to be played in Libreville on Wednesday. Burkina Faso were fortunate to be given a free kick on the edge of the Tunisian area after Syem Ben Youssef was adjudged to have handled the ball. Television replays showed it had hit his chest.
Bance took the opportunity to blast a low shot through the wall to open the scoring just when the game seemed to be heading into extra time.
