    Finally, Senegal put a ball into the box that beats the near post. And look at the damage it causes. They have the upper hand. It is a cool, calm finish. He keeps his body over it and slots home. What a goal that could be.

    Abdou Diallo

    The breakthrough!

    Corner deliveries have been poor in this game but finally a set piece works out as Burkina Faso fail to clear, the ball is hooked towards the goal by Kalidou Koulibaly and his defensive partner Abdou Diallo takes a touch before stabbing in from close range.

    Huge noise inside the stadium as Senegal put one foot in the final!

    There's not much between the sides. Is there a hero out there? Is there a mistake? That is what happens in tense games like these. How focused can these players be in the remaining 25 minutes?

    It is very tight and very nervy as we enter the latter stages of the second half.

    Burkina Faso have a corner but it is an easy claim for Edouard Mendy.

    Abdou Diallo heads away an inviting ball into the box by Burkina Faso. A crucial intervention at the near post.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 63 mins

    Burkina Faso 0-0 Senegal

    Senegal make a double change as Famara Diedhiou is replaced by Watford striker Ismaila Sarr while Pape Gueye replaces Cheikhou Kouyate.

    Changes were certainly needed. Senegal haven't troubled Farid Ouedraogo in the Burkina Faso goal enough.

    Things are a bit scrappy at the moment with neither side able to put together much in the way of flowing moves. Senegal have a free kick but Saliou Ciss' ball into the box is headed away.

    Senegal coach Aliou Cisse seems to have told his team to keep hold of the ball as much as possible - they are determined to pass their way upfield even if that means passing it across the backline under pressure from Burkina Faso.

    You can see why this Senegal back five has only been breached once. So sound defensively, so assured. And if you do get past the back-four, there is one of the best goalkeepers in the world to beat.

    Burkina Faso 0-0 Senegal

    A scare for Senegal as Bertrand Traore chases a ball over the top but Kalidou Koulibaly gets back superbly to hook the ball back onto Traore's face and out for a goalkick.

    Brilliant from Koulibaly. That was a real chance for Burkina Faso.

    Sadio Mane and Saliou Ciss combine on the left but the latter's ball into the box is a poor one.

    Mane urges his team-mate to calm it down and take his time, delivery had to be better.

    PSG defender Abdou Diallo is across to deal with the danger from another quick Burkina Faso break, with Bertrand Traore hoping to force his way through.

    We had plenty of drama in the first half, but will the second deliver the goals?

    We're back under way.

    Some of the survivors from the Olembe Stadium tragedy were at Cameroon training this evening along with Samuel Eto’o.

    Seth Gogo Egeh: This Burkina Faso vs Senegal referee is the best referee so far at the tournament! I'm impressed with his use of the VAR. #EPL, external referees should learn from him - calling you to the VAR screen doesn't mean you don't have a choice.
