Accra, May 17, GNA - Obuasi Ashgantigold made clear their intentions of surviving the premiership when they chalked a lone goal victory over Liberty Professionals in their Week 19 clash at the Ohene Djan Stadium on Sunday.

The win, which incidentally is the Miners fifth of the season was made possible through the efforts of Togolese-import Ellensan Mensah four minutes from recess. After a barren first half characterized by midfield play, the final half was no different either as both teams played as if there was

nothing at stake. The performance of the two sides made a mockery at their technical benches which had their respective heads; George Lamptey for Liberty and David Duncan for Ashgold on their feet throughout the game. Despite the consistent yelling and pep talks by the two technical heads, the main characters in the act, the players performed abysmally.

The only goal came in four minutes into the second half when

Mensah connected home Solomon Addy?s cross from the left

flank for what turned to be the only goal of the match. For Liberty it was a completely bad afternoon as attacker Daniel Bonsu saw his goalbound efforts ricochet off the cross bar thrice

in his attempt to draw even. 17 May 09
