Burkina Faso goalkeeper Herve Coffey was overjoyed at his team's advance to the African Cup of Nations quarter-finals.

In the match of the 1/8 finals of the tournament, the national team of Burkina Faso pulled out a victory over Gabon in a penalty shootout. The main time of the meeting ended with the score 1:1.

And in the series of post-match 11-meter shootouts, the nominal hosts turned out to be stronger - 7:6.

After Ismaila Ouedraogo converted the decisive shot, Coffey staged an enchanting celebration near the penalty area - the goalkeeper performed 5 somersaults in a row. Video of the goalkeeper's fantastic acrobatics quickly spread across the Web and went viral.

In the 1/4 finals of Burkina Faso will meet with Tunisia, which beat Nigeria the day before (1: 0). The fight is scheduled for January 29.
