African Nations Cup: Black Stars Dominate Hosts In Contentious Semifinal, Will Face Elephants In Final

At Malabo, Equatorial Guinea:

Jordan Ayew (PK-42'), Wakaso Mubarak (45'+1), and Andre Ayew (75') each scored a goal on Thursday as Ghana dominated hosts Equatorial Guinea 3-0 in an African Nations Cup semifinal match.  Play was stopped at 82 minutes and was suspended for 40 minutes due to rioting amongst fans.

The Black Stars will face Ivory Coast in Sunday's final to be played at Bata, Equatorial Guinea.  The winner will play in the 2017 FIFA World Cup, set for Russia.

The defeated National Thunder will take on the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Saturday's third-place playoff at Malabo.
