A three successive changes by head coach Chris Hughton added to firepower upfront; Gideon Mensah replaced Baba Rahman, Inaki William left for Antoine Semenyo and Ernest Nuamah came on for Osman Bukari.
Ernest Nuamah was teed up expertly inside the box and the new Lyon forward tapped in brilliantly to send Ghana smiling pretty with all points.
Ghana now advances after three wins and three draws to secure top position of Group E. The Black Stars will be joined by Angola as the two to have qualified from the group.
