Live Update
The Black Stars play Burkina Faso in the second semi-final of the AFCON 2013.
Already Nigeria cruised to the final dispatching Mali with cheeky ease. With a 4-1 annihilation of their West African foes, Nigeria are waiting patiently for another West African derby in the final. It is either Ghana or Burkina Faso.

The Stallions are making their second historic semi-final but have vowed to etch their names on the AFCON Tournament with a dream final and hopefully a glowing AFCON trophy.
