The penalty shootout started successfully for Burkina Faso - Egypt missed their first shot, but Burkina Faso converted their last two penalties, sending Egypt to the final. Egypt will find out their second final participant tomorrow, when Cameroon and Ghana face each other. Result: Burkina Faso 1 - 1 Egypt (Penalty shootout: 3-4) 67' [0 - 1] M. Salah 73' [1 - 1] A.
