The Black Stars resumed the second half with a different game plan to pile excessive pressure on the CHAN Eagles which yielded another goal through a sport kick courtesy slippery substitute Patrick Razak in the 58th minute which expectedly taken by defender Vincent Atingah.
The CHAN Eagles couldn’t stand the swiftness of Patrick Razak so was whacked again the 18-yard box for another penalty which was this time converted by Stephan Sarfo to increase Ghana’s tally to three and a personal two on the night
Winful Cobinah sealed Ghana’s fourth in the 93rd minute following a goalmouth scramble inside the box
Nigeria did find some consolation with a goal of their own courtesy of a 22-yard free-kick from Rabiu Ali which found the top corner of the net, but it was too little too late as the game ended 4-1.
