WAFU Cup: Nigeria to play Ghana in final

The Black Stars of Ghana will square up against fierce rivals Nigeria, in the final of this year’s West Africa Football Union (WAFU) cup.


This follows their 2-0 victory over Niger Republic, in the second semi-final on Thursday night.

Kwame Kizito and Stephen Sarfo scored in either half, to secure the win for the Ghanaians and a place in Sunday’s final in Cape Coast.

In the first semi-final earlier on Thursday, Nigeria beat 10-man Benin Republic 1-0 thanks to Rabiu Ali’s 11th minute goal.

When both countries met earlier in the tournament, the home-based Eagles defeated the host country 2-0 in their final Group A game on Monday.

Benin Republic and Niger Republic will square off in the third-place match on Saturday.
