Ghana 1-0 NigeriaGyan 21 Ghana edged into their first ACN final since 1992, thanks to Asamoah Gyan’s first half header and some poor finishing by the Super Eagles. Gyan headed in Kwadwo Asamoah’s near-post corner, the same combination that got them past hosts Angola in the quarter-finals, and defended stoutly thereafter. Goalkeeper Richard Kingson made a vital second-half block from Obafemi Martins. Captain Yakubu Ayegbeni missed the target from inside the six-yard box in the 72nd minute. And Sani Keita was inches wide with a stoppage-time effort as a physically-drained young Black Stars side held on.
