ASPIRE Student John Benson and Black Satellites to the final!

The Ghanaians are closer to first African U-20 World cup. Ghana can deliver Africa's first ever Under-20 World Cup title after booking their place in the final of the 17th edition of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, Egypt 2009. The African Champions and Brazil will play in the final after both sides claimed wins in their semi-final matches at the Cairo International Stadium. The day was filled with narrow wins for both sides as Ghana claimed a 3-2 victory over Hungary in the first game while the Brazilian Seleção were 1-0 winners against Costa Rica. Friday's final sets up a rematch of the 1993 final, which Brazil won 2-1 in Sydney. This is third time Ghana has been to the final of this competition though the Black Satellites have never won the title. For Sellas Tetteh, Ghana coach, the black satellites can claim a double, having won the African title earlier this year."What matters isn't just that we're in the final, but that we got there thanks to a great victory. "We're not surprised by our performance because we played really well in the qualifying competition in Rwanda and we've had continuity and consistency here (in Egypt). "It doesn't matter who we meet next: we're 90 minutes away from lifting the trophy," the Ghana coach said after Tuesday's win over Hungary. Ghana full-back, David Addy says the team is bent of making history after earning their place in the final. "Magnificent, we've worked very hard and I think we've deserved it," he said. "It's always good to make history and that's what we're fighting for." The Black Satellites, who spent a two weeks training camp before heading to Egypt, count among them a Ghanaian ASPIRE student athlete, John Benson, who played so far four games as a substitute.
