Ghana U-20 Goalie Danlad Ibrahim demonstrated pure class as his penalty saving heroics steered the Black Satellites to the semi finals of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations tournament.

The Black Satellites faced Cameroon in the quarter finals of the U-20 AFCON on Thursday.

After both sides played a pulsating goalless draw after 90 minutes at the Stade Olympique in Nouakchott, the game headed for extra time.

Cameroon thought they had clinched qualification when substitute Prince Kevin Milla registered the game’s first goal in the 103rd minute of extra time.

However their joy was short-lived as Ghana clawed back into the game a minute later courtesy a striker from Frank Boateng.
