Four coaches have been nominated for the NASCO Coach of the month of November after guiding their respective teams to impressive performances in the Ghana Premier League.

Coach Christopher Ennin of Berekum Chelsea secured 4 wins and a draw in five matches guiding his side to win two consecutive away games in the month of November.

FC Samartex also had an impressive home form under coach Nurudeen Amadu after winning 3, 1 loss and 1 draw in 5 matches.

Nations FC under Kassim Mingle Ocansey managed 4 wins and 1 defeat in the month of November while coach Tanko Ibrahim’s Accra Lions side won 3, drew 1 and lost 1 of their 5 games.

The winner takes home a 43-inch NASCO television set from ElectroLand Ghana Limited.

Coach Maxwell Konadu of Nsoatreman FC won the award last month.

Below are their statistics:

Asante Kotoko scored in the first half to beat Berekum Chelsea 1-0 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Monday.

The Porcupine Warriors, roared on by the home crowd, shot into the lead through Steven Mukwala in the 41st minute.

The forward got on the end of a beautiful team work to smash home the match winner. Richmond Lamptey started the build up from midfield where he sent a through ball to Isaac Oppong before Dese Mukwala fired home.

Asante Kotoko went into the game, looking to make it three wins out of three games after going past Medeama SC and Legon Cities in their last two Premier League games.

The Reds dominated play and created some decent chances in search of the lead but their onslaught paid off in the 41st minute through Steven Mukwala.

Back from the break – Berekum Chelsea had other ideas but the defence of Asante Kotoko stood firm to deny them.

Mizack Afriyie and Collins Ameyaw made way for Ansu Kofi Patrick and Zacheus Ndego in the second half. The substitutes injected energy into the game as Berekum Chelsea chased for the equalizer.

Substitute Patrick Ansu missed a good chance to level matters in the 85th minute but the former Medeama SC forward fluffed the chance as Asante Kotoko held on for the three points.

In the other game, Kwabena Boateng and Joseph Mireku got on target for Legon Cities in their 2-0 win over Accra Great Olympics.

Kwabena Boateng opened the scoring inside 56 minutes before Joseph Mireku wrapped up the win in the 96th minute.

Both sides ended the game with red cards after Christopher Nakai Nettey and Michael Yeboah of Great Olympics, were shown the exit, while Legon Cities finished with ten men after Joseph Amoah was sent off.

Bechem United traveled up north to devour Karela United in a thriller on match day 13 of the Ghana Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Emmanuel Avornyor, Augustine Okrah and Emmanuel Annor scored four beautiful goals to give Bechem United yet another win on the road.

Emmanuel Avornyor scored in the 37th minute as Bechem United went into the break with a slim lead.

After the interval, Augustine Okrah scored two quick fire goals in the 54th and 60th minutes before Emmanuel Annor wrapped things up in added time.

High flying Nsoatreman FC made light work of Bibiani Gold Stars as they scored two goals, one in either half to grab the points – giving Maxwell Konadu only his second win on the road.

Collins Kofi Kudjoe opened the scoring for Nsoatreman FC just before the half time whistle but Emmanuel Appau leveled matters for Bibiani Gold Stars. 

Star man Abdul Manaf Umar fetched the winner for Nsoatreman FC in the 70th minute.

Nsoatreman FC thus keep hold of the second spot in the League standings level on 24 points with leaders Aduana FC.

League leaders Aduana FC added to the woes of Accra Hearts of Oak as they inflicted a 1-0 win om the Phobians at Nana Agyemang Badu I Park Sunday.

Forward Bright Adjei scored the only goal of the game in the 70th minute to give the leaders their first win in three games.

Aduana FC suffered back to back defeats to Karela United and Accra Lions and looked determined to get back to winning ways.

Accra Hearts of Oak have been a pale shadow of themselves this season having suffered two defeats, drawn two and won once on the road in the campaign.

After a barren first half, Bright Adjei scored from a free kick to give his side all the spoils at Dormaa.

The result keeps the Ogya lads at the top of the table with 24 points.
