Ghanaian side WAFA have reached the final of the 2015 Next Generation Youth tournament after seeing off Borussia Dortmund 1-0 to book a date with hosts Red Bull Salzburg. 

Once again it was Aminu Mohammed whose solitary goal early on which catapulted the team to the final round.

Mohammed was fouled in the penalty area then stepped up to take the penalty himself and score.

Having taken the early lead, WAFA put Dortmund under pressure, who struggled to contain their opponents.

In the 25th minute the Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper stopped a header from WAFA on the goal line.

The Germans then stepped up a gear and it became a real end-to-end affair as they looked for an equaliser.

Weinhardt De Oliveira had their best chance in the 30th minute, but he headed over.
