Chelsea youngster Bertrand Traore helped Burkina Faso earn a place in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals on Sunday.

Burkina Faso managed to finish top of Group A in the African showpiecewith a fine 2-0 victory over Guinea-Bissau and the star for the Stallions was Chelsea's Ajax loanee Traore, who sealed the win with a second-half strike.

Despite being placed in a group alongside Cameroon and hosts Gabon, Burkina Faso claimed top spot with a win and two draws and they are now likely to face either the Ivory Coast or Morocco in the final eight of the competition.

Traore scored in the 58th minute following a 12th-minute own-goal from Rudinilson as Paulo Duarte's side took honours in Franceville.
