The matchday eight of Ghana Premier League took place at all the nine centres across the country with interesting and shocking results
Aduana Stars moved to the top of the log after securing their fifth successive wins with a 1-0 victory over Ashanti Gold at the Len Clay Sports Stadium in Obuasi, while King Faisal continued with their unbeaten run as they shared the spoils goalless against Accra Lions in Sogakope.
Hearts of Oak picked their first win of the season against Elmina Sharks thanks to a second half strike by new boy Gladson Awako.
The 31-year-old marked his debut for the Phobians as a second half substitute and capped his wonderful performance with a nice goal to move them from the foot of the log.
In Bechem, Augustine Okrah scored his fourth goal of the season from the penalty spot when Bechem pipped Eleven Wonders 1-0 to return to winning ways after going two games without a victory.
Kofi Owusu became the hero in Berekum when his two goals helped Chelsea to defeat WAFA 2-0 and further push the visitors to the foot of the log.
Meanwhile, RTU surprisingly picked up a point against Asante Kotoko at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium thanks to a David Abagna Sangna’s late equaliser as the two sides shared the spoils 1-1.
The results means Kotoko are yet to record a win after three games and have only picked two points from a possible nine.
