Mali and Ghana became the second and third African sides to secure their places at the FIFA U-20 World Cup New Zealand 2015 after defeating South Africa and Zambia respectively in Group B at the CAF African U-20 Championship in Senegal.  

 

The Black Satellites of Ghana, one of the most experienced sides at the U-20 World Cup finals, ensured they will continue their legacy at the tournament after they edged Zambia 2-1. Ghana did not make life easy on themselves as Zambia scored after just two minutes. However, Asiedu Attobrah was able to score an equaliser before half-time to make it 1-1. 

The decisive winner for the 2009 U-20 World Cup champions did not come until late on when substitute Samuel Afful was able to finish past Zambia goalkeeper Mangani Banda. The win earned the Black Satellites a spot in the semi-finals of the competition and an all-important ticket to the U-20 World Cup in New Zealand. 


In the earlier Group B match, Mali edged South Africa 2-1 with all of the goals coming in the last 20 minutes. South Africa took the lead in the 69th minute through Motjeka Madisha, but Mali were able to respond just five minutes later when Hamidou Traore scored the equaliser. Traore then solidified himself as Mali's hero when he scored eight minutes into stoppage time. Mali, who finished third at the 1999 U-20 World Cup, will now have the chance to replicate that success at New Zealand 2015.
