Ghana skipper Shafiu Mumuni caught the Ivory Coast defence freezing cold at the start of the second half of Tuesday's WAFU (West African Football Union) Cup of Nations semi-final against Ivory Coast in Senegal.
Just nine seconds after the referee blew his whistle, he headed in unchallenged to put his side 2-0 up.
Mumuni went on to complete a hat-trick in Ghana's 3-1 victory and the defending champions will face either hosts Senegal or Mali in Sunday's final.
