Ghana are through to the finals of the All Africa Games after edging out rivals, Nigeria in the final qualifying round.
The Black Meteors beat Nigeria 2-0 on Sunday at the Baba Yara Stadium to overturn a 3-1 first leg deficit.
Ghana scored both goals in either half of regulation time as Kwesi Appiah's side complete a 3-3 aggregate but banked victory on the strength of the away goal.
Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu opened the scoring for Ghana in the 11th minute from a freekick before Richard Mpong sealed qualification with 20 minutes to go.
The Black Meteors thus secure the sole Zone III ticket for the Games to be staged by Mozambique later in September.
Ghana line-up:
Daniel Agyei, Samuel Inkoom, Masahudu Alhassan, Ahmed Adams, Edward Kpodo, Emmanuel Agyeman-Badu, Isaac Cofie/Gladson Awako, Richard Mpong/Aziz Tetteh, Latif Salifu/Ben Acheampong, Dominc Adiyiah, Saddick Adams
