The Black Satellites of Ghana have advanced to the semifinals of the ongoing WAFU Zone B U-20 Championship.
The team secured their spot in the last four with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Benin on Wednesday afternoon at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram.
Despite being reduced to 10 men just before halftime—following a red card to Kelvin Nkrumah—the Black Satellites held firm.
The first half ended goalless, but Ghana found the breakthrough shortly after the restart, with Bless Ege slotting home in the 52nd minute.
Asante Kotoko winger Peter Amidu Acquah came close to extending Ghana’s lead in the 72nd minute but narrowly missed the target.
Ghana finishes Group A in second place with four points, following their opening 1-1 draw with Nigeria, who also progress.
Benin, meanwhile, bow out of the competition without registering a single point.
