Ayew brothers fire Ghana into semis

Ghana's Ayew brothers grab a goal each to beat DR Congo 2:1 and put the Black Stars through to the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals.

Aston Villa's Jordan Ayew opened the scoring on 62 minutes, curling the ball past Ley Matampi in the Leopards goal.

Paul-Jose M'Poku equalised for DR Congo with a sensational long-range effort from outside the box.

Andre Ayew then coolly dispatched a winning penalty, sending Matampi the wrong way to seal the win.

It marks Ghana's sixth consecutive Nations Cup semi-finals appearance, as they seek to end an agonising 35-year wait for a continental title.

In a game that only properly sparked to life in the second half in Oyem, DR Congo - and their captain Dieumerci Mbokani in particular - were left to rue several missed chances early on.

Dieumerci Mbokani had several opportunities for DR Congo

The Hull City striker's best opportunity came on six minutes, after a terrible mix-up in the Ghana defence, but he hit the post when he had the goal at his mercy.

Mbokani then teed up the competition's top scorer Junior Kabananga on 25 minutes, who fired high over the bar.

The Congolese talisman again broke through the Ghana defence, only to slice his chance into the side netting.

Ghana showed a lot more intent in the second half, with Wakaso whipping a free-kick at Matampi, who saved with his feet.

Jordan Ayew - the younger of the two brothers - scored his first of the tournament, surging into the box and stroking the ball home confidently and decisively.

The lead lasted all of five minutes, with M'Poku unleashing a breathtaking long-range shot with the outside of the boot that arrowed into the top corner.

Ghana continued to press and were awarded a penalty when Christian Atsu went down in the box after contact from Lomalisa Mutambala, who was lucky not to receive a second yellow card.

Andre Ayew then coolly dispatched the spot-kick, sending Matampi the wrong way, to grab his second of the competition.

Leopards substitute Cedric Bakambu missed several chances to equalise in the final minutes, forcing a good save from Razak and finding space in the box at the death before shooting badly wide from close range.

Atsu could have finished it for Ghana in injury time, but the busy Matampi produced a great save at his feet.

The Black Stars' celebrations at the end showed Avram Grant's side's relief at edging the contest.
