Alain Traore scored the only goal during Saturday's third-place match at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, as Burkina Faso beat Ghana 1-0.

The Black Stars dominated most of the match but didn't convert their chances, and Traore struck close to the final whistle, bending home a free-kick.

Cameroon and Egypt will battle for the title on Sunday.

As the team's official Twitter account shared, Ghana made several changes to their squad, moving Frank Acheampong, Christian Atsu and Andre Ayew to the bench:
