The win ensured Black Stars finished top of Group C, with Sudan securing the second spot after they beat South Africa 2-0 in Omdurman.
They made the perfect start with defender Nicholas Opoku scoring his debut goal in the 12th minute. The former Berekum Chelsea centre-back, who currently plays in France for Amiens, rose highest to head home a corner from Kudus Mohammed.
Four minutes later, Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew had a penalty shout ignored, but was awarded one in the 30th after suffering a clumsy tackle in the box.
Jordan was allowed to take the penalty by brother Andre Ayew – who is the team’s regular penalty taker – and he converted expertly and Black Stars ended the half on a high note.
