Ivory Coast set up a blockbuster Africa Cup of Nations quarter final against Egypt with a comfortable 2-0 win over Burkina Faso.
Manchester United winger Amad Diallo scored one and made one in a dominant first half as the Elephants cruised to victory in Marrakech.
Four of the previous seven meetings between the sides had ended in draws but Amad was in no mood to extend that sequence.
He drove in the opener before setting up the second for Yan Diomande, with Bazoumana Toure adding a third late on.
Ivory Coast will take on Mohamed Salah and his Egypt team-mates in Agadir on Saturday.
The match is a repeat of the 2006 final where the North African side triumphed on penalties after a 0-0 draw.
The Ivory Coast dominated the contest against an out-gunned Burkinabe and might have won by a greater margin but for some excellent goalkeeping from Herve Koffi.
