Black Satellites midfielder Frank Boateng says his side's target is to win the on-going Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.

The Satellites emerged 4-2 winners during the penalty shoot outs after the game ended 1-1 after 120 minutes of football.

Ghana qualified to the quarterfinals stage as one of the best third-placed teams after a 4-0 win over Tanzania, drawing against Morocco and losing the final group game to Gambia.

"Our dream of winning the competition remains intact and we are determined to win just as we did in Benin," he said at the post match press conference.

"Again we have shown that once again that we are good when  it comes to penalties. Now we are motivated going into the next game", he added.

Boateng was adjudged the Most Valuable Player in Ghana’s win over Cameroon in the quarterfinals.

He climbed off the bench in the 58th minute and showed resilience in upfront for Coach Karim Zito’s side.

The Prestige FC attacker also got the equalizer for Ghana just a minute after the Cameroonians took the lead in the 103rd minute of the game.

Ghana will face the winner of the game between Gambia and Central Africa Republic on Monday for a place in the final match which will be played next weekend.
