Goals from Christian Atsu and Kwesi Appiah gave Ghana a 3-0 victory over Guinea on Sunday, setting up an African Nations Cup semi-final against hosts Equatorial Guinea.

Group C winners Ghana eliminated a disappointing Guinea side, who only progressed from Group D following the drawing of lots with Mali, after a dominant display.

Everton's Atsu opened the scoring in the third minute, firing home from the centre of the box after a delicious back-heel from Andre Ayew.

On the stroke of halftime, Appiah, making his first start for the national side, made it two by capitalising on a dreadful defensive mix-up with a composed finish.

Atsu then added a stunning third on the hour mark, while Guinea goalkeeper Naby Yattara was sent off for a late flying kick on Asamoah Gyan in the dying moments.
