The Ahafo giants shocked the Premier League debutants to make it to the next stage of the FA Cup on Thursday
Bechem United defeated Bibiani Gold Stars 6-5 on penalties after 1-1 in regulation time to progress to the Round 16 of 2021/22 FA Cup at the Dun’s Park in Bibiani.
The two clubs, before today’s meeting, had met in the league two months ago where Gold Stars pipped Bechem 1-0 and they were hoping to replicate that feat.
However, Bechem United took the lead this time around by the 20th minute after Augustine Okrah played Clinton Duodo through to score the first goal.
Gold Stars thought they had equalised three minutes later but an effort from Yakubu Haqq was ruled out as offside.
However, Gold Stars equalised seven minutes later through Haqq in the second time of asking with a nice finish.
Although, both clubs came close to score very late in the game, they could not make their chances count.
Bechem, however, got lucky and won on penalties 6-5 to make it to the next stage.
