TEAM NEWS

Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan is an injury doubt following his collision with Guinea goalkeeper Naby Yattara that left the striker with a hip problem.

Crystal Palace striker Kwesi Appiah, who scored in the 3-0 victory over Guinea, could replace Gyan.

Equatorial Guinea will again look to striker Javier Balboa to provide the goals, following his double that saw off Tunisia in their quarter-final.

However, he said: "I am the reference for the public, but it's a team job."

MATCH PREVIEW

Gabon referee Eric Otogo will be in the spotlight after controversial scenes marred Equatorial Guinea's last-eight tie with Tunisia.

A controversial penalty decision in the dying minutes by Mauritian referee Rajindraparsad Seechurn turned the tide in favour of Equatorial Guinea against Tunisia.

Javier Balboa converted the harshly awarded spot-kick and he scored again in extra-time to give the host nation a shock 2-1 victory.

Seechurn has since been suspended for six months for what the Confederation of Africa Football described as a "poor performance".

This will be Ghana's fifth consecutive semi-final, while the Nations Lightning are in the last four for the first time.

If the host nation's passage to the semi-final was controversial, the Black Stars' qualification was most convincing as they dumped Guinea 3-0.

Four-time winners Ghana have improved since an opening-match 2-1 loss to Senegal by beating Algeria, South Africa and Guinea.

Equatorial Guinea are unhappy having to move to Malabo for the game from their fortress in Bata, where they have not lost an international game.

Three years ago, it was in Malabo that they were thumped 3-0 by the Ivory Coast in the quarter-finals.

Balboa will again be the source of inspiration for the team. He has stood out with his maturity and class.

Goalkeeper Felipe Ovono, who features in the semi-professional Equatoguinean league, has also caught the eye and is one of the reasons his country are still in this tournament.

"It will be difficult to win the Cup of Nations, but I pray to still win it," said Argentine coach Esteban Becker, who led Equatorial Guinea to the 2012
