Match day two of the Ghana Premier League has ended
at all centres with the exception the game between Asante Kotoko and Ashanti
Gold, due to the Obuasi-base club’s Champions League tie with MO Bejaia.
As expected, the thrilling passion, goals,
excitement and shocks came into play as it produced 15 goals in all, 5 home wins, 2 away wins, 6 away goals and 9 home
goals.
New Edubiase and Ebusua Dwarfs kicked start on match
day two on Friday at the Obuasi Len Clay Park. After and end-to-end stuff with
the home side largely dominating play, former Liberty and Aduana Stars player,
Zuberu Fuseini, tabbed in from closed range on the 64th minute mark to hand the home side their first three
points of the season.
The action continued on Saturday at the Essipong
Stadium as Hasaacas hosted league debutante Techiman City. Left-back Amos Korankye
quickly got his name on the score sheet seven minutes into the game. Returnee
Eric Bekoe added the second (39th
minute) in the first half from a free-kick and converted a penalty (49th
minute) in the second half of the game. Roger Nortey (58th minute) and Baba Mahama (65th minute) struck in successive for a possible comeback
but wasn’t enough as Prince Papa Arko nailed the game in 91st minute
to make it four goals to two.
At the Dansoman Carl Reindolf Park, Liberty narrowly
defeated stubborn Inter Allies by two goals to one after they lost their
opening day game to Bechem United. An own goal from Kingley Boateng (7th minute) and a goal from
Latif Blessing scored from a free-kick to give the scientific soccer lads the lead
whiles substitute Fredrick Boateng (58th
minute) scored a consolation for the visitors.
Home invincibility at the Golden City Park for more
than a season continued as Berekum Chelsea narrowly defeated WAFA by a goal to
nil. Saddick Adams (24th minute) who saved Asiwome Fumador’s life
last week when he fainted rather save Chelsea’s blushes to score his first
premier league goal for more than two years now.
The shock result of the week was Wa All Stars silencing
Aduana Stars at their own backyard. Their home indomitability has been broken
after 21 rounds of home matches. The last time they lost at home was a 0-1
against Hearts of Oak on 15th Feb 2014 (2013/2014 league season).
Kofi Yeboah scored late in the game to give All Stars a perfect start in the
league. The win makes it two in sixteen (16) attempts.
The team with many dreams, Dreams FC, also continues
with their fine form as they beat Bechem United by a goal to nil. Ben Nash
Quansah’s goal two minutes to half time separated both sides. Woefully, they
are yet to pick a win, away from home in their last 16 matches, lost 13 and
drawn 3.
Top liner of the week, Medeama and Hearts of Oak, never
ceased to live up to its billing and the necessary hype. The through passes,
shots, crosses and near misses were worth enjoying. After the home side
dominated the first half in possession and missed chances, the visitors took
their chances very well in the second part and punished the home side. Cosmos
Dauada shot the Phobians into lead 13 minutes to end proceedings whiles Eric
Kumi intelligently placed the icing on the cake with the second goal on the 92nd minute mark.
