Senegal struck three times in the last 20 minutes to book their place in Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations final after overcoming Burkina Faso 3-1 at Yaounde’s Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium on Wednesday.
Abdou Diallo shot home from close range after a corner in the 70th minute for the first and a strike from Bamba Dieng doubled Senegal's lead six minutes later.
Blati Toure pulled a goal back to make it 2-1 in the 82nd minute but Sadio Mane added a final flourish with a breakaway goal five minutes later to restore Senegal's two-goal advantage as their quality triumphed over a gallant Burkinabe outfit.
Senegal, who were runners-up at the last edition in 2019, will meet hosts Cameroon or Egypt in the final.
