Ghana's clash with Nigeria dominates Africa's attention
It's arguably one of the most entertaining derbies
in all the continent, the battle between Ghana and
Nigeria continues, this time at the African
Nations Championship in the semi-finals.

Both sides enter the match on Wednesday with just
one ambition on their minds, victory over the
other.

That victory will land either side in the final of
the tournament exclusive to players based in their
home countries and boost their pride due to the
long-standing rivalry between them.

While the argument can be made for either side to
win this match, Ghana coach Maxwell Konadu
believes it's a fixture with the perfect setting
to light up football on the continent.

"This will go a long way to help African football
when some of the best countries are meeting,"
Konadu told www.ghanafa.org.

"Nigeria are one of the powerhouses of African
football, one of the best countries in African
football, so we only need to plan very well to
meet the Nigerians.

"But I think that Africa will enjoy that match."

Though it would have been an ideal final meeting,
this mouthwatering last-four clash between the two
sides will certainly produce a mixed feelings when
it's all over.
