2017 AFCON: Burkina Faso win bronze after beating Ghana 1-0

For the second time since Thursday when Cameroon beat them 2-0 in the semi-finals, the Black Stars disappointed again, letting the Burkinabes claim their first third-place win.

Burkina Faso had won the silver medal in 2013 when they lost 1-0 to winners Nigeria and finished fourth in 1998, losing 4-1 on penalties after drawing 4-4 with DR Congo in regulation time.

Ghana’s record fell to wins in 1963, 1965, 1978 and 1982; third place in 2008 (when they won 4-2 against Cote d’Ivoire); fourth place in 2012 and 2013 (losing both matches to Mali); and fourth place in 1996 (when they lost 1-0 to Zambia).
