A compelling performance from the national under 20 team, the Black Satellites secured passage to the finals of the WAFU mini tournament in at the Ohene Djan stadium.
The total output from the Ghanaian side was awe-inspiring as they basically strolled to a 4-0 win over the visiting Beninios.
The Satellites largely drawn from the country’s premier league sides, dominated their opponents who represented Africa at the World Youth championships in Holland.
Three quick fiery goals in the second half left nobody who watched the game in no doubt about the ability and class of the team.
Prince Tagoe settled Ghanaian nerves in the first half with a late strike.
But where his first goal demonstrated his raw power, the second goal in his hatrick performance defined the striker’s technique and cool finishing.
In between Tagoe’s goals, Real Sportive playmaker Mark Adu Amofa found the back of the net for Ghana.
Hat-trick hero Prince Tagoe told Joy Sports the win was sweet revenge for the disappointment of missing out on the African championships.
The team’s assistant coach Sulley Mohammed says the win was adequate reward for their efforts.
Senegal won the tournament’s opening game against Niger. Senegal beat the Nigerians 4-2 on penalties to advance.
The winner of Saturday’s final qualifies for the Abuja leg of the tournament, which forms part of ECOWAS’ 30th anniversary celebrations.
