Burkina Faso 3-3p Cameroon: Hosts end on a high to claim third place on penalties after remarkable comeback
In a game that lacked quality but had its fair share of drama, Cameroon did the impossible to turn a topsy-turvy game on its head and beat Bukina Faso on penalties after a 3-3 draw in the bronze medal match at the Africa Cup of Nations.

El último de ellos se produjo hace una semana, el pasado 24 de enero, justo un día después de que su selección se clasificara para los cuartos de final de la Copa de África tras eliminar a Gabón (5-4 en los penaltis). El sábado Burkina superó a Túnez (1-0) y este miércoles jugará ante Senegal su tercera semifinal de una CAN en nueve años. Sin duda, los potros, como se les conoce en África, son prácticamente el único halo de luz de un país que vive un periodo de oscuridad. Otro más.
