Burkina Faso's star player Jonathan Pitroipa is set to play in Sunday's Africa Cup of Nations final against Nigeria after his semi-final red card looks set to be reversed.

Pitroipa was sent off against Ghana for two yellow cards. But, referee Slim Jdidi has said he made a mistake giving the second yellow card for diving.

"Everyone realised that this referee did not officiate well," Caf president Issa Hayatou says. "They've told me the referee has sent a letter saying he got it wrong."
