Uganda will take on Ghana in Saturday's final of the Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations in Mauritania.
It will be Uganda's first continental final since 1978, when they also faced Ghana in the senior Nations Cup final, after they thrashed Tunisia 4-1 on Monday.
Ghana, who have won the under-20 title three times, edged past The Gambia 1-0 in the other semi-final.
Percious Boah scored the only goal of the game in the 33rd minute with a well-taken free-kick.
Uganda's hero was striker Derrick Kakooza as he scored the tournament's first hat-trick after Richard Basangwa had given his side the lead after just five minutes.
