Senegal saw off the threat of giant-slayers Equatorial Guinea and won 3-1 in their Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final on Sunday.
Senegal reached the semi-final for the second time in a row; having reached the last four in the previous edition in Egypt.
Famara Diedhiou opened scoring for Senegal, who then conceded a surprise equaliser to Jannick Buyla, only for substitutes Cheikhou Kouyate and Ismaila Sarr to hand the Teranga Lions a comfortable lead.
Senegal, one of the pre-tournament favourites, have booked a semi-final meeting with Burkina Faso on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Heritage Times had earlier reported on Sunday that Egypt edged Morocco 2-1 after extra time and will play host nation Cameroon in the other semi-final on Thursday.
Senegal conceded their first goal in this year’s AFCON after finishing their group and qualifying for the last 8 on a clean sheet.
