The midfielder was at his best once again as the Hunters snatched a narrow victory against the Inshallah Boys

Bechem United defeated King Faisal 1-0 in Ghana Premier League matchday ten fixture at the Fosu Gyeabour Park in Bechem on Sunday.

Ahead of the game, the visitors had gone four league games without a defeat and were joint top leaders on the table alongside Aduana Stars.

It was Bechem who had the first shot on target by the third minute but goalkeeper Abdul Jabal Adams saved the situation.

Zubeiru Ibrahim and Ibrahim Wayo combined to set up Osman Ibrahim on the 22nd minute but the striker who is on loan from Asante Kotoko could not send his effort on target.

Back from recess, Bechem brought on Hafiz Wontah Konkoni for Emmanuel Annor and that changed the tempo of the game. Konkoni was marking his return from injury following a career-threatening injury he sustained against Hearts of Oak on May 12, 2021.

The former Legon Cities striker combined with Clinton Duodo to set up Emmanuel Avornyo but the latter shot wide.

However, Okrah was at the right place at the right time with barely ten minutes remaining and the forward connected a pass to score the opening goal.

Although, he came close to add another three minutes later, his goal-bound shot was blocked by Pius Baffour.

Okrah has now scored six league goals after ten games and provided three assists
