2020/21 GPL:Match Report: AshantiGold beat Great Olympics in Accra to go top of league table

AshantiGold SC posted a 2-1 defeat on Great Olympics to record their first away victory in the Ghana Premier League this season at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.

The Miners came from a goal down to clinch the vital win as they go top of the league standings with 15 points.

Olympics made one change to the squad from their 2-1 defeat to Aduana Stars last weekend in Dormaa Ahenkro.

David Amuzu and Abdul Manaf Mudasiru replaced Eric Osei Bonsu and Sunday Alhassan in the starting lineup to face the Miners.

Serbian tactician Milovan Cirkovic made three alterations to the AshantiGold starting lineup that came behind to beat Berekum Chelsea last week in Obuasi.

Felix Clottey was handed his debut as he replaced Burkina Faso import Mohammed Bailou between the sticks.

Samed Ibrahim took the place of suspended Richard Osei Agyemang in central defence whilst Frank Akoto came in for Roland Amouzou.

Olympics talisman Gladson Awako broke the game’s duck in the 13th minute to put the hosts ahead with a brilliant strike from the edge of the box to beat goalkeeper Clottey.

AshantiGold drew level on the stroke of halftime with a fine finish from Amos Addai after receiving an excellent pass from youngster Isaac Opoku Agyemang.

The Miners got their noses in front just two minutes after recess through substitute Yaw Annor who replaced Addai after connecting another incisive pass from Opoku Agyemang.

AshantiGold will be tackling Medeama SC at the Len Clay Stadium in Obuasi next week on match day nine.

Olympics will also be taking on Inter Allies FC in a regional derby.

In the second half, Karela United improved their game and managed to equalize through talisman Diawisie Taylor to restore parity in the 72nd minute.

With the fierce contest that ensued from there on, Techiman Eleven Wonders had the better of the opponent as they scored twice courtesy of strikes from Nana Kobina Osoh and George Amponsah to win the match 3-1.

The big win means that the team from Techiman now occupies the 9th position on the Ghana Premier League table.

John Boye scores late to save Metz from defeat

Black Stars stalwart defender, John Boye opened his goal account in the French Ligue 1 on Saturday evening against OGC Nice.

The experienced Ghanaian International scored his team’s only goal of the match as they came from behind to pick a point at home in the French top-flight.

Women’s League: Ashtown Ladies’ Coach Camara confident of his side’s chances ahead of the new season

With the National Women’s League commencing in the next few days, a lot of coaches, players, and administrators have spoken of their club’s readiness ahead of the season.

The latest to join the trail is Ashtown Ladies’ gaffer, Kamara. Speaking to sikafotos.com, he was of the view that his team was well prepared to meet the exigencies of the league taken into consideration their abysmal performance in the previous campaign.

“We’ve done a lot of preparations already considering our unsatisfactory performance in the last season’s league, therefore we’re targeting and aiming at winning this season’s league and so everyone is working very hard towards this achievement.”

Coach Camara’s thought on the introduction of Champions League ;

“I must say that the champions League initiation will vehemently motivate and instill seriousness into everyone and, or clubs to work harder just to get into the champions league competition and so I appreciate this initiative.”
