Burkina Faso are a side growing in confidence with every game they play and are set to give Ghana a real run for their money in their semifinal encounter.

The Stallions will battle the Black Stars at the Mbombela Stadium on February 6 after beating Togo 1-0 on Sunday night in a match that went into extra time.

Burkina Faso have conceded just one goal in four goals and were the surprise packages of Group C, their qualification for the knockout stages coming at the expense of defending champions Zambia.
.
'' Congratulations to my players and a befitting birthday present to our president (Blaise Compaore, who has ruled the country since 1987). It's like a never-ending story ''.
