Kotoko Win At Last

Struggling Hearts of Oak were at sea in Berekum as first half goals by Eric Bekoe and Latif Salifu dazzled them beyond recovery, thus putting Coach C.K. Akonnor’s job on the line.

The three straight defeats by Hearts saw them drop to an unfamiliar 13 position, leaving the Phobian fans to keep guessing where their deliverance would come from.

For in-form Medeama, it was yet another joyful weekend as they shrugged off stiff opposition from RTU in Tamale to maintain their winning ways and grip at the top.

Former RTU striker, Kabiru Moro took his tally to three following his powerful first half opener for Medeama, before Massawudu drilled home the second late in the game to force a second defeat down the throat of winless RTU currently languishing in the 15th position.

At Dansoman, it was another sweet story for Liberty Professionals who registered their first win over a solid Aduana Stars side, courtesy a brace by Kennedy Ashia.

Injury-hit Ashantigold hanged on to a lone goal victory over visiting King Faisal to secure the third position with a second win in front of the partisan home crowd at Len Clay, while Tema Youth forced a 1-1 with All Stars at Wa to claim the fourth position.

At Tema, Heart of Lions made sure to pick a point in their tight 2-2 draw with debutantes Amidaus Professionals, with New Edubiase United dropping two vital home points following their goalless draw with Dwarfs at Bekwai last Saturday.
