In a tightly contested match, Ghana emerged victorious with a single goal against DR Congo in the quarter-finals of the 2014 African Nations Championship, securing their spot in the semi-finals. The match remained evenly balanced throughout, with few clear-cut opportunities in the first half, resulting in a goalless score at halftime.
However, the deadlock was broken in the 68th minute when K imakwi conceded a penalty for handball, allowing Kwabena Adusei to calmly convert from the spot and give Ghana the lead. Despite late pressure from DR Congo, Ghana held on to their narrow advantage, with goalkeeper Adams making a crucial save to maintain the clean sheet.
With this 1-0 victory, Ghana advances to the semi-finals, joining Nigeria, who defeated Morocco in a thrilling encounter the previous day. The other semi-final will feature Zimbabwe, who overcame Mali, against Libya, who secured their spot with a victory over Gabon earlier in the day. The stage is set for an exciting conclusion to the tournament.
