Ghana sends SA home in Afcon 2015

Andre Ayew scored a late goal to put Ghana into the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals as Group C winners. Ayew bravely headed home Baba Rahman's left-wing cross after his side had earlier looked like being eliminated. Mandla 

Masango had given South Africa the lead with possibly the goal of the tournament when he scored a spectacular volley from 25 yards. Ghana piled on the pressure after the break and substitute John Boye drove home an equaliser before Ayew struck. 

With 17 minutes remaining, Ghana were on the way home as they trailed 1-0 but

Boye's equaliser gave them hope and then Ayew's strike confirmed they would finish ahead of Algeria, who qualified with them after beating Senegal 2-0, on head-to-head record. 

Ghana had never scored against South Africa in an Africa Cup of Nations match but they started as though they were determined to end that record.
