Ghana coach Avram Grant has revealed that his strategy of keeping hold of the ball in their semi-final clash with Equatorial Guinea helped the Black Stars to defeat the host 3-0 in Malabo on Thursday.
The Nzalang Nacional were feared before the semi-final match but the Black Stars made them look like an ordinary side as star players Andre Ayew, Christian Atsu and Kwesi Appiah made them look like an ordinary side.
The four-time champions secured a place in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, with Jordan Ayew, Mubarak Wakaso and Andre Ayew on target in a dominant victory against the host nation.
Grant says the strategy of keeping the ball away from the opponent worked perfectly of the Black Stars in their quest for the place in the final.
"We tried to hold the ball, control the game and find the solution to score the goals," Avram Grant said.
"I think we did it well, it was not an easy game. Equatorial Guinea played well in the first half in a tactical way to stop us playing."
