In a game where the defending champions had high hopes of winning, they were outplayed throughout the regulation time and went on to lose the trophy at the end of the penalty shootout.

Youssouph Badji gave Senegal the lead on the 108th minute after firing in a cut-back cross from Niang. An instant impact from Ghana, however, saw Joseph Esso drawing parity for his side a minute later.

The match eventually ended with nothing to separate the two sides and was forced into the penalty shootout.
