The Ghana’s U.20 side, Black Satelites, have made Africa proud again by qualifying for the semi final stage of the ongoing FIFA U.20 World Cup in Turkey by overpowering Chile 4-3.

The match which ended 2-2 after 90 minutes showed the resilient nature of the Ghanaians as they came from behind to claim their deserved place in the last four. Ebenezer Assifuah got his second goal of the game to win it for the Black Satellites.

Assifuah's header completed Ghana's comeback after Angelo Henriquez put Chile 3-2 up in the eighth minute of extra time.

Speaking after the game, the Ghanaian coach, Sellas Tetteh described the match as a tough encounter. "This was really a cliff hanger match, but that is what this tournament is about, to show good football and to entertain people," he said.

Earlier in the tournament, Ghana narrowly escaped elimination after losing group matches against Spain and France before advancing on goal difference following a 4-1 win against the United States.

Speaking further, Tetteh said, "It's a wonderful feeling for us to progress to the semi-final, we started from a very low point. The progression of this team is wonderful."

It would be recalled that Ghana, under the tutelage of Tetteh, became the first African Country to lift the FIFA U.20 World Cup in 2009; a feat they hope to repeat this Year.

Ghana will face France in the semi final, while Uruguay faces Iraq in the other semi final.

Other African representatives which includes Nigeria, Egypt and Mali, were earlier eliminated from the tournament. Nigeria lost to Uruguay in the round of sixteen, while Egypt and Mali couldn’t go beyond the group phase.
