Ghana doubled their lead on the 75th minute through Emmanuel Yeboah who pounced on a defensive clanger.
Just three minutes after, Arko Mensah won a penalty for Ghana after he was penalized by Djigo Saikou. The culprit stepped over and had his kick saved.

The third kick was taken by Emmanuel Yeboah who converted nicely to snatch his brace and Ghana's third of the day.
