After a 2-2 draw at the Accra Sports Stadium, Charles Sampson’s side secured a crucial 1-0 win in the reverse fixture, thanks to a decisive strike from substitute Priscilla Mensah.
Uganda, meanwhile, were held to a 1-1 draw at home in their first-leg encounter against Zambia. However, they sealed qualification with a hard-fought 1-0 away victory in the return leg to book their place in the final phase.
