After starting the tournament slowly, and progressing from the group with one win and two draws, Senegal has become the first team to qualify for the final of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations following a comfortable 3-1 victory over Burkina Faso.
It was an intense game, with both sides creating plenty of chances, but the pre-tournament favourites always looked like coming out on top.
Senegal had a shout for a penalty wiped off by VAR on the half-hour mark, but the incident still took a toll as Burkina Faso goalkeeper Herve Koffi was forced off with an injury.
They were awarded a penalty deep into first-half stoppage time when Edmond Tapsoba was deemed to have blocked Idrissa Gueye's shot with his hand, but VAR overruled the decision and they went into the break level.
With ten minutes to go, Burkina Faso threatened to make a game of it as Ibrahim Blati Toure kneed the ball into the back of the net, but Senegal ahowed their class to kill off the game and even added a third through Sadio Mane.
For Senegal, it's an opportunity to avenge their defeat in the final of 2019.
Manager Cisse is just the third African to reach back-to-back AFCON finals, and he'll hope to go one step further this time around.
They'll face either Egypt or hosts Cameroon in the final.
