Prolific striker Ransford Osei scored all two goals in either half to secure the darling boys of Ghana the enviable cup in the African U-20 football. The Israel-based forward on both occasions combined with Asante Kotoko's enterprising wing-back Samuel Inkoom to give Ghana their third triumph after titles in 1993 and 1999.

Osei latched onto a cross from the right from Inkoom after the defender had made light work of three Cameroonians. The Black Satellites repeated the previous effort with Inkoom breaking free on the right to set-up Osei, who evaded his markers before wrong-footing the goalkeeper to finish as the tournament's top scorer with seven goals.

Captain Andre Dede Ayew received the trophy from the president of the Republic of Rwanda Paul Kagame to spark wild celebrations for the West African country both in Kigali, Accra and elsewhere in Ghana, ghanasoccernet.com reported.

The players deserve to thoroughly celebrate their win as they dominated the physical Cameroonians throughout the game with excellent passes in good technical ability.

But it was the Young Lions who showed early signs of clinching the title but the Ghanaian defence marshaled by Jonathan Mensah and Daniel Addo were resolute to deny the marauding Brice Owona.

Ghana settled soon after and started dominating the midfield with Gladson Awako and Agyemang Badu foiling Cameroonian attempts while Osei and Dominic Adiyiah caused some concerns for their opponents. The Black Satellites dominance allowed wing-backs Inkoom and Addy to move forward with consummate ease.

Inkoom took advantage of such forays forward after a corner kick before dribbling past three Cameroonians to spot Osei in an empty space. The Maccabi Haifa striker made no mistake with a simple tap-in which confirmed his status as probably the best youth striker in Africa.

While Inkoom looked effective throughout the afternoon his slip-up in box nearly led to an equaliser in the second half. The Kotoko defender chested the ball to goalkeeper Agyei who was already off his mark but the timely acrobatic bicycle kick from in the nick of time saved the Satellites.

The Ghanaians were not cowed and continued with their positive play. Inkoom was at hand again to send in a cross from the right but the onrushing Osei and Adiyiah failed to connect which brought some relief to the Cameroonians. But the Young Lions were not to escape the well-rehearsed strategy when Adiyiah slalomed past two Cameroonians leaving Inkoom free on the right.

The Kotoko wing-back sent in an inviting cross to Osei who was hiding behind his markers but he outwitted the Cameroonians before wrong-footing the goalkeeper to seal the victory.

The win is a massive boost for the new Ghana president John Evans Atta-Mills who had given a massive backing to the team to ensure a good start to his presidency.
