TERANGA LIONS ROAR INTO THE SEMI FINALS


Senegal's capital erupted in noisy celebration on Friday after the national side came from behind to beat Guinea 3-2 in an African Nations Cup quarter-final.

Groups of screaming students waving flags ran into the streets around the main university, stopping buses to make passengers join in the party. Workmen shovelling sand threw their spades in the air when the final whistle blew.
Senegal came from a goal down to beat Guinea 3-2 and reach the semi-finals of the African Cup of Nations.
Guinea opened the scoring in the 24th minute when Kaba Diawara capitalised on a mistake by the Senegal goalkeeper Tony Sylva.

Pape Bouba Diop scored Senegal's equaliser 16 minutes after the break, heading home a cross from Diomansy Kamara.
Senegal will now play either Egypt or the DR Congo in Tuesday's semi-finals.
