Africa Cup of Nations - Semi-Finals

Teams: Ghana v Equatorial Guinea

Date: 05 February 2015

Venue: Estadio de Malabo

Ghana and Equatorial Guinea will be vying for a spot in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations when they lock horns at Estadio de Malabo.

The match is scheduled to get underway 19h00 GMT

The Black Stars booked their spot in the final four after impressively seeing off Guinea 3-0 in the quarterfinal.

The win came at a cost, as captain and forward Asamoah Gyan is a major doubt, after colliding with Guine goalkeeper Naby Yattara. Although Kwesi Appiah, who scored in the last eight, looks set to replace Gyan.

Meanwhile, Afcon hosts Equatorial Guinea secured their semi-final spot by defeating Tunisia 2-1 in controversial fashion.

The home side will be looking to Javier Balboa to bang in the goals, after the winger's brace against downed the Tunisians in the last round.

While, this will be the first meeting between these two nations at the Cup of Nations.

Here's how they line up:

Ghana: R Braimah; H Afful, J Boye, Jona Mensah, B Rahman; C Atsu, A Acquah, M Wakaso, A Ayew; J Ayew, K Appiah

Equatorial Guinea: Ovono, Evuy, Mbele, Da Gracia, Kike, Zarandona, Ellong, Ivan Edu, Balboa, Belima, Nsue
