GHANA PREMIER LEAGUE WEEK 11 REPORT
GHANA PREMIER LEAGUE WEEK 11…REPORT
Week 11 of the Ghana Premier League brought with it
the usual excitement and delight of watching the 'jogo bonito' of Ghana football.
7 matches kicked off across several centers with Accra
Hearts of Oak picking up the team of the week accolade.
The Phobians put their derby defeat to Kotoko behind
them to record a historic away win against Berekum Chelsea at the dreaded
Golden City Park.
The hosts had not lost at home since December 30, 2012
and looked set for extending their 43 game unbeaten run until 2004 Ghana
premier league top scorer Samuel Yeboah put Hearts of Oak ahead.
The goal proved the decider as Hearts recorded their 4th away win to keep intact their unbeaten status away from home this
season (Hearts recorded wins in Tarkwa vs Medeama, Tema vs Inter Allies and at Obuasi vs AshGold).
The win was also the first for Hearts of Oak against
Berekum Chelsea at the venue and their first there overall since 2008 and pushes
the Phobians to the top of the League table once again after league leaders Wa
All Stars were mangled 3-1 by Techiman City.
Ebenezer Agyapong, Stephen Manu and Issaka Ibrahim scored
for the home side while Kelvin Andoh was on target for All Stars.
Andoh's goal was the first Techiman City had allowed
at their home grounds (The Den) in their debut campaign in Ghana's top flight.
Elsewhere, Kotoko spiked ailing Ebusua Dwarfs by 3-0
at the Baba Yara Sports stadium.
The victory was made possible with a brace from Dauda
Mohammed while winger Frank Sarfo Gyamfi also got one for Coach Michael Osei's side who are
looking to put a dismal start to the season behind them and push further for
the league title.
For Dwarfs, the defeat further condemned them to the
bottom spot on the table and the pressure is expected to be intense on head
coach JE Sarpong.
Another beleaguered coach Bashir Hayford failed to
silence his critics after failing to win his 5th home game on the trot
following a 0-0 draw with Bechem United.
This is certainly an unpleasant situation for the
defending league champions and the writings on the wall indicate that Coach
Bashir Hayford is a dead man walking.
At Dormaa, on-fire Yahaya Mohammed powered his self to
the top of the scorer’s chart (his 9th goal this season) after his 2
goals aided Aduana Stars win 4-0 at home to Dreams FC.
Richard Mpong and Bright Adjei were the other scorers
for the 2009 league champions who have certainly rediscovered their 'mojo'
under Romanian trainer Cioaba Aritica.
The Giants from the West, Sekondi Hasaacas also won
comfortably at home to New Edubiase FC.
An Ibrahim Suleiman brace alongside Eric Bekoe's goal
was enough to hand Hasmal a 3-1 win with Prince Antwi scoring for the away
side.
At Sogakope, the spoils were shared as WAFA failed to
break down Inter Allies in a goalless draw.
Overall 15 goals were scored in 7 matches with one
outstanding clash between Liberty Professionals and Medeama set to be played
later.
Hearts of Oak remain the only away side to record a
victory during week 11 while Kotoko, Aduana, Hasaacas and Techiman City ensured
the trend of home teams always winning in the Ghana Premier league continued.
