LIBREVILLE, Gabon (AP) — Burkina Faso is first into the semifinals at the African Cup of Nations after two late goals beat Tunisia 2-0 on Saturday.
Aristide Bance, with his dyed blond hair, came off the bench to hit a low shot into the bottom corner from a free kick in the 81st minute and break a deadlock at Stade de l'Amitie. It was pretty much the big striker's first act of the game.
"I knew that Bance could get inside that defense and he has a great ability to shoot," Burkina Faso coach Paulo Duarte said.
