Quick Report: Burkina Faso 0-1 Ghana

(GSM) – A depleted Ghana side ensured their passage through to the quarter-finals of African Cup of Nations, with a narrow 1-0 victory over a determined Burkina Faso side.

Dede Ayew’s header on the half-hour mark was enough to see the Black Stars through in Luanda.

The Burkinabe, who only needed a draw to progress, were dealt a blow in the second half when Hamadou Tall was dismissed for an elbow on Asamoah Gyan.

Ghana follow Ivory Coast through to the last eight from the three-team Group B.
