Shamsudeen Sulemana was the star of the match, scoring four goals, while Abdul Aziz Issah added another to help Ghana maintain their impressive run in the tournament.
The victory came just hours after Ghana defeated South Korea 2-1 in the Round of 32, but the young side showed little sign of fatigue as they produced another dominant attacking display to eliminate Mexico.
The result extends Ghana’s winning streak to seven matches at the FIFA Talent Development Scheme tournament.
Ghana began their campaign with a 4-1 victory over Uzbekistan before thrashing Myanmar 7-1 and Guam 7-0. They followed those results with another 7-0 win over the Bahamas before edging Kazakhstan 2-1.
Their knockout-stage campaign started with a 2-1 victory over South Korea in the Round of 32, followed by Wednesday’s 5-2 triumph over Mexico.
Ghana have now scored 34 goals across their seven victories, showcasing their attacking strength as they continue their pursuit of the inaugural tournament title.
The team will await their opponent in the quarter-finals as they look to extend their winning run and move closer to lifting the trophy in Azerbaijan.
