The opening week of the second round of Ghana's top-tier division was graced with quite some spectacular performances across various centers with some individuals continuing their rollercoaster campaign. Veteran goalie, Richard Kingson saved a last-gap penalty as his side earned a draw away from home, meanwhile Heart of Lions' home invincibility was breached as they thumped defending champions Asante Kotoko.
