    Sunday's Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final between Sadio Mane's Senegal and Equatorial Guinea will be shown live in the UK on the BBC (19:00 GMT).

    Senegal will be favourites for the game, which will be on BBC Two, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website. A semi-final against Burkina Faso awaits.

    Egypt face Morocco in Sunday's other quarter-final (15:00), with a last-four tie against Cameroon up for grabs.

    Both semi-finals and the final will be broadcast live on BBC Three.

  3. Burkina Faso into semi-finals - read the reportpublished at 21:04 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2022

    Burkina Faso 1-0 Tunisia

    Teenager Dango Ouattara scored the only goal and was sent off as Burkina Faso surprised Tunisia to reach the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals.

    Ouattara, 19, ran onto Blati Toure's through-ball and held off two defenders and cut inside before firing in. But he was then sent off in the 82nd minute for an elbow on Ali Maaloul.

    The Stallions, who have never won the tournament, will meet the winner of Sunday's BBC Two game between Senegal and Equatorial Guinea (19:00 GMT).

    But they will be without Ouattara, now suspended after his late dismissal. It came after referee Joshua Bondo's second trip to the monitor for a video assistant referee check in quick succession.

    Minutes earlier, Tunisia were denied a penalty as Soumaila Ouattara caught Wahbi Khazri with a high tackle in the box after initially winning the ball.

    Dango Ouattara is the hero for Burkina Faso, but his tournament is over unless his country win their semi-final after that late red card.

  5. Final four once morepublished at 21:00 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2022

    Burkina Faso 1-0 Tunisia

    That's now semi-finals in this tournament for Burkina Faso in three of the past five Africa Cup of Nations events.

    They reached the final in 2013, losing 1-0 to Nigeria, failed to make it out of the group phase two years later, then in 2017 lost on penalties to Egypt in the semi-final before finishing third.

    They didn't qualify for the 2019 tournament but have returned with a bang in this year's competition.

    Burkina Faso 1-0 Tunisia

    Tunisia are out, Burkina Faso into the semi-finals.

    We were meant to have four minutes of injury time, the referee blew at 3:42 on the clock.

    But Burkina Faso are the ones celebrating. Wild celebrations from them. Tears from a Tunisian fan picked out in the crowd.

    Thirty seconds left. Tunisia need something dramatic, very dramatic.

    Burkina Faso 1-0 Tunisia

    Tunisia launch it forward, and it is too long for everyone and Herve Koffi lies on the ground with the ball in his possession.

    He may be a couple of minutes away from some more incredible back flips, just like in the last round.

    Burkina Faso have the ball, deep in Tunisia territory. They win a corner to drain out a few more seconds.

    Time running out for Tunisia.

    Four minutes injury time. That seems light. Tunisia have four minutes to send us into extra time.

    There's some nervous faces on the Burkina Faso bench. Tunisia knocking on the door, but can they unlock it?

  12. Postpublished at 88 mins

    Burkina Faso 1-0 Tunisia

    Can 10-man Burkina Faso hang on? What a result it would be for them if they can.

    Senegal or Equatorial Guinea will be their opponents on Wednesday if they can.

    Willem Mevius: That's a harsh red card. He went in with the elbow, but it didn't look like it was intentional.

  14. RED CARD - Dango Ouattara (Burkina Faso)published at 82 mins

    Burkina Faso 1-0 Tunisia

    Dango Ouattara's goal may well take Burkina Faso into the semi-finals but, if it does, he won't be playing on Wednesday.

    The referee reverses his original yellow-card decision and shows the 19-year-old a straight red.

    Burkina Faso will now be trying to hang on for 10+ minutes with 10 men.

  15. Postpublished at 20:40 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2022

    Dango Ouattara is now in trouble. Once again, it's over to the pitchside monitor for the referee for a VAR review.

  16. Postpublished at 20:40 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2022

    Goalscorer Dango Ouattara then gets himself a yellow. He catches Ali Maaloul with a flailing arm.

    We could be using VAR again here. Ouattara definitely swings an arm.

  17. No penaltypublished at 80 mins

    Burkina Faso 1-0 Tunisia

    The referee, after jogging to the pitchside monitor to have a look at the potential penalty, says 'no, I was right first time' and does not award Tunisia a penalty.

    At first look, it had looked a brilliantly-timed challenge from Soumaila Ouattara and, eventually, the referee agrees.

    Nervous moments for Burkina Faso as the referee studies the footage...

    But is it a fair challenge in the penalty area? We have a VAR review for a potential penalty.

    Khazri think he has got a shooting chance, but Soumaila Ouattara comes from nowhere with a strong sliding challenge to save his side a goal.
