Ghana beat South Korea 3-2 to reach the semifinals of the Under-20 World Cup in Egypt today.



Ghana led 2-nil inside the first 30 minutes, thanks to a goal each from strikers Dominic Adiyiah and Ransford Osei.



However, Ghana relaxed after their second goal and South Korea punished some poor defending when Park Hee-seong headed in a cross from the right in the 31st minute to make it 2-1.



But Adiyiah took his tournament total to six goals with a brilliant solo run and finish in the 78th minute to extend the lead to 3-1 before Kim Dong-sub headed another goal for South Korea in the 82nd.



Ghana will now play either Hungary or Italy, who meet later today.
