Ghana's Jordan Ayew (right) and Tunisia's Anis Boussaidi tangle during their African Nations Cup quarterfinal soccer match at Franceville stadium.

Franceville - Ghana needed extra time to beat Tunisia 2-1 in their African Nations Cup quarterfinal on Sunday and book a semi-final meeting with Zambia.

A goalkeeping howler gifted Dede Ayew the 101st-minute winner after Aymen Mathlouthi dropped a cross right into the path of the Ghanaian midfielder.

Ghana captain John Mensah returned from injury to score from a corner after just 10 minutes but Saber Khlifa equalised before halftime.

Tunisia finished with 10 men after an elbow from Aymen Abdennour earned him a red card with 12 minutes left in extra time. - Reuters
