Paul Duarte’s Stallions swore not to falter
Les Etalons from the Republic of Upper Volta
Milovan Rajevic’s Meteors vowed not to fall
To the Fédération Burkinabé de Football
Raucous fans from Luanda to Ouagadougou
Fourth as 98 hosts refused to bid adieu
Andre Ayew settled a most decisive dual
In the absence of Ghana’s crown jewel
Without injured Chelsea star Michael Essien
No less than a win, all seemed not “Très bien”
Lack of pace in the Burkinabe backline
Space for Ghana’s shining stars to shine
Koulibaly’s acrobatics couldn’t connect or flick
Cleanly with his lissome overhead kick
Four time winners the Black Meteors through
To join an prominent Quarter final crew
Number 7
