Egypt's Ahly beat Cameroon's Coton Sport 2-1 to qualify for the African Confederation Cup final for the first time on Sunday.
The Red Devils fell behind just before the quarter-hour mark when a mix-up between defender Saad Samir and keeper Sherif Ekramy gifted Joseph Kombous an opening goal that leveled the aggregate score.
Burkinabe attacking midfielder Moussa Yedan, who was given a rare starting berth under coach Spanish coach Juan Garrido, restored Ahly's aggregate advantage when he struck four minutes before the break following a superb individual effort.
Striker Amr Gamal made the game safe with a late and simple tap-in as Ahly continued their bid to become the first Egyptian side to win the Confederation Cup.
They will face Ivory Coast's Sewe Sport in the final after the latter defeated Congo's AC Leopards 1-0 on aggregate to cap a fairytale run.
The two teams met twice in the group stage, with Ahly claiming a 1-0 home win before settling for a 1-1 draw in the Ivory Coast.
