Ghana has made it to the finals of the Wafu Cup tournament after beating Ivory Coast in the semi-finals on Monday.

The Black Satellites won the game 2-1, thus extending their winning run at the tournament to five games.

The Wafu competition started with 16 teams, out of which two sides have made it to the finals.
