Published on: 28 January 2010

Ghana will play Egypt in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday in Angola.

The Black Stars reached the final on Thursday after defeating arch rivals Nigeria to seal their place.

Egypt secured their third successive final spot after beating Algeria 4-0 in the other semi final game.

A first-half goal by Asamoah Gyan earned Ghana a 1-0 win over Nigeria on Thursday and a place in the final for the first time in 18 years. Gyan, who also scored the only goal in the quarter-final win over hosts Angola, headed home in the 21st minute. The Black Stars, who last won the continental tournament in 1982, will meet the holders in Sunday's final at Luanda's November 11 stadium.
