The Black Satellites missed out on the WAFU Zone B U-20 trophy after a 1-2 loss to Nigeria in the final on Wednesday.
The two rivals faced off at the Stade Kégué in Togo for not only the bragging rights but also an add-on to their medal haul in this tournament.
Even before things would settle, the Nigerians scored twice to go into the break with a 2-0 lead.
The Ghanaians pushed hard after the recess but could only pull one back.
It was an end to a campaign that has qualified the Satellites to the 2025 U-20 AFCON, alongside the Flying Eagles.
It ended 2-1.
Earlier in the day, Ivory Coast beat Niger by the same scoreline to win Bronze.
