The Ghana U20 men’s national team has set up a final with the Uganda U20 side in the men’s football tournament at the 13th African Games after beating Senegal in the semifinals on Tuesday night.
The Ghana U20 side nicknamed the Black Satellites locked horns with the Young Teranga Lions today in a showdown staged at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Despite the dominance of the Black Satellites in the first half, the hosts could not find the back of the net and had to go into the break on level pegging.
After the halftime break, Ghana continue to dominate the contest but Senegal also had their moments although they struggled to penetrate the defense of the hosts.
Late in the 83rd minute, substitute Michael Ephson decided the game when he equalized from close range to give the Black Satellites a deserved lead.
With Ghana doing enough to hold on to the lead, the Black Satellites managed to secure the narrow win to advance to the final.
The Black Satellites will now prepare to take on Uganda who also beat Congo in the other semifinal game in the final game on Friday, March 22.
