Kenya's women have arrived in the Ghanaian capital, but not in time to fulfil today's fixture against the hosts, who were given a 5-0 walkover win.

In the men's tournament, Kenya enjoyed a far better day.

Having arrived in time to play Namibia, they duly won 4-1 and are therefore already through to the semi-finals.

So too are Egypt, who squeezed past the hosts 1-0 to win Pool B.

Ahmed Elganaini scored the crucial goal in the 55th minute. 

Nigeria thrashed Uganda in the other Pool B match and only a heavy defeat against Ghana can stop them advancing.
