Ghana's Black Queens are through to the semi-final of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations after a penalty shoutout victory over Algeria in Berkane on Saturday afternoon.

Cynthia Konlan produced a heroic display during the shootouts, saving twice as the Black Queens reach the semi-final for the first time in over a decade.

Ghana thought they had taken the lead halfway into the first half after Stella Nyamekye had the ball into the net but after a video assistant referee review, the goal was disallowed.

The Black Queens continued to dominate the first half, coming close through the ever-present Doris Boaduwaa and Chantelle Hlorkah.
