Ghana U20s are through to the semi-finals of the African Youth Championship after defeating hosts, Algeria 2-0 on Friday. Progress to the last four stage means that, the Black Satellites, who needed just a point from their third and final Group A match have also booked a place at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup three years.

The Black Satellites will meet the first placed team in Group B in the second semi-final match on Tuesday in Oran.
