Rank outsiders Burkina Faso will battle Nigeria in the African Cup of Nations final after a 3-2 penalty shootout win over Ghana at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit on Wednesday.
.
Ghana's Udinese midfielder Emmanuel Agyeman Badu had his effort saved by Daouda Diakite after earlier misses by teammates Isaac Vorsah and Emmanuel Clottey.
.
Bakary Kone, Henri Traore and Aristide Bance converted their chances to continue the fairy-tale run of a team that had turned up in South Africa with the modest ambition of ending a 17-match winless Nations Cup run.
.
Now they find themeselves meeting Nigeria, 4-1 winners over Mali earlier, for a shot at becoming kings of Africa.
