The 2016/17 Ghana Premier League season returned after the international break with match week 9 games.
West Africa Football Academy continued their impressive away form this season with a slim 1-0 victory over fellow high flyers Bechem United.
Daniel Lomotey’s 38th minute goal sealed all three points for the Sogakope-based club and move them into third place, a point behind leaders Kumasi Asante Kotoko.
Berekum Chelsea inflicted on Hearts of Oak their fourth away defeat this season as Stephen Sarfo’s first half strike gave the Blues a narrow 1-0 win.
Kumasi Asante Kotoko’s winning home form was halted by great heroic goalkeeping from Kwame Baah to end their five straight home victories.
The Porcupine Warriors had set for themselves an audacious task of winning all 15 home games, but Inter Allies ensured they denied them a routine victory – all thanks to the fine form of goalkeeper Kwame Baah.
Accra Great Olympics recorded their first league of the season, as they narrowly defeated Mysterious Ebusua Dwarfs 1-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium in match week 9. The Blue-and-Whites, since returning to the top flight, have failed to win a game, but that poor run changed as youngster Bernardinho Osah Tetteh scored the only goal of the game.
Ashgold’s poor league form that saw coach Bashiru Hayford resign prior to the game, continued as they were held 1-1 at home by debutants Bolga All Stars.
Earlier on Saturday, Liberty Professionals put up an improved second half performance to hold Ghana Premier League debutants Elmina Sharks to a 1-1 draw.
