Burkina Faso were three goals in front of their hosts Cameroon at the end of the first 45 minutes, however, allowed the advantage slip off their hands as the Indomitable Lions fought back to equalise and force the encounter into penalties.
Cameroon went on to clinch a 5-3 victory on penalties to win bronze at the tournament.

Traore said: “I’m very disappointed after this result. We had the game in our hands.
“We were leading 3-0 before being caught a few seconds from the end of the game.
“Its professional misconduct because we had everything to win the game. This result comes to ruin our course.”
The Stallions Captain further said: “Its hard to explain what happened tonight. We were leading 3-0 and then the Cameroonians came back.
“It’s a rare situation in football. I’m sad."
