Ghana take you to the final - Ghana 1-0 Nigeria

Semi success for the men in white
Black star shines ever so bright

Near-post header in the blistering sun
When Asamoah made a clever darting run

Tide turning header directed with great aim
"Unbelievable," said Gyan after the game

Black Stars stayed ahead thereupon
Inspired work by Richard Kingson

Semi heartbreak for Eagles left for dead
'My contract is till August,' was Amodu's dread

Nigeria did maintain a slick passing stance
But couldn't convert that polished dominance

Vorsah's head-to-head with clubmate Obasi
Hoffenheim chums didn’t break into a hissy

Yakubu came close, but Super Eagles pipped
Stars make the final bout with Egypt
