Ghana defeated Cape Verde 2-0 to book qualification to the last four of the Nations Cup at the Nelson Mandela Sports Bay in Port Elizabeth on Saturday. Burkina Faso set up the last four meeting with the Black Stars after beating Togo 1-0 on Sunday at the Mbombela stadium, the same venue for the semi final clash on Wednesday.
