Celebrations are continuing in Egypt after the country's semi-final victory in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) football tournament.

According to Ceoafrica, Egypt reached a record-equalling ninth AFCON final, beating Burkina Faso 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

Veteran goalkeeper Essam El Hadary proved Egypt's hero, saving Bertrand Traore's spot-kick to secure victory.

However, Egypt will face the winner of tonight's game between Cameroon and Ghana in Sunday's final and Burkina Faso will face the loser in a play-off for third and fourth place on Saturday.
