Sekondi: Oly fall to Hasaacas

Sekondi Hasaacas defeated Accra Great Olympics 2- 0 in their ABC premier league match played at the Sekondi Gyandu park. Both goals were scored by Yaw Serbeh in the 73rd and 81st minutes through spot kicks. Both sides missed several scoring chances in the keenly contested match in which Hasaacas opened attack after kick off with sharp passes on the flanks. Olympics held Hasaacas in check through a strong defence and good goal-keeping by Samuel Quaye. MORE

Nkawkaw: Okwahu winat home

Tano Bofoakwa played a very determined game but lost 0-1 to Okwawu United in their match played at the Nkawkaw park. The only goal of the match was scored by outside left Kwabena Gyamfi in the 37th minute when his close range shot beat goalkeeper Amadu Losina in posts for Bofoakwa. Bofoakwa, who kicked off under the instructions of Accra- based FIFA referee Joseph Wellington dominated most of the exchanges but failed to translate their dominance into goals. Both teams made three changes in the second half. Bofoakwa continued to pile up pressure with beautiful combination by centre forward Salifu Babangida and inside right Willie Brown but the Okwawu defence thwarted all their efforts. Bofoakwa nearly equalised in the 77th minute when their mid-fielder Fuseni Bawa hit the upright with a powerful shot from outside the "18". MORE
