ROAD TO THE GRAND-FINALS:
GHANA: The Ghanaians made it out of the group stages as one of the best two third placed teams after losing their last group match to Gambia to finish third in the group. They had beaten Tanzania and drawn against Morocco, and those two results were just but enough to push them into the quarters.
• In the last eight, they matched up against Cameroon, one of the pre-tournament favourites. They came from a goal down in extra time to force out a 1-1 draw and win the tie on penalties to progress to the Semi-finals.
• In the last four, they were matched up against Gambia, the same team that beat them 2-1 in the Group stages. This time, they proved to have done their homework right and laid down a 1-0 revenge against the Young Scorpions to sail to the Grand-finals.
UGANDA: The Ugandan Hippos finished second in Group A after victories over hosts Mauritania and Mozambique, their only loss of the tournament so far being against Cameroon.
• In the Quarter-finals, they faced a tough Burkina Faso side and weathered the West African storm to win on penalties and sail to the Semi-finals.
• They were unstoppable in the last eight, beating Tunisia emphatically 4-1 to announce themselves in the Grand-finals with a thud.
