Highlights: Emmanuel Gyamfi’s wonderful performance and Yahaya Mohammed’s thunderbolt strike handed Aduana first away victory

Aduana Stars defeated Legon Cities 1-0 on matchday five of Ghana Premier League at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday.

After the Fire Club thumped Real Tamale United last weekend, coach Asare Bediako made a single change in his setup as Benjamin Tweneboah was replaced with Sam Adams.

After the early exchanges, Legon had the first chance on goal but Jonah Attuquaye could not guide his effort on target.

Aduana made them pay for the missed chances as star striker Yahaya Mohammed shot them in front by the 27th minute with a thunderbolt.

Emmanuel Gyamfi was brought down on the edge of Legon’s box after he broke free following a through ball from Yahaya.

The bulky striker’s goal means that he has scored back-to-back as he was on target also against RTU. However, Yahaya has now netted 20 goals for Aduana in his last 32 league games.

Legon were forced to effect changes after the break as coach Maxwell Konadu brought on Asamoah Boateng Afriyie to replace Hamzah Nassiru while Osman Abdul took over the place of Nasiru Moro.

However, Aduana were compact at the back and occasionally broke loose in counterattacks as they looked out to double their lead.

With six minutes remaining, Legon came close to equalising but substitute Asamoah Boateng Afriyie saw his last ditch effort hitting the side net.

Aduana’s victory means that they have picked four points from Accra Sports Stadium in the last two weeks as they also shared the spoils 1-1 with Hearts of Oak.

Aduana now have eight points from five games currently sit in mid-table.

Ghana to know World Cup playoffs opponents in January instead of December, as Caf changes draw date

The continent’s football governing body has reschedule the date for the World Cup qualifying playoffs draw on Friday

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has opted to change the draw date for 2022 Fifa World Cup playoffs following an Extraordinary Assembly held in Egypt on Friday, AshesGyamera.com can confirm.

The draw, which was initially scheduled to take place on December 18, 2021, has now been moved to January 26, 2022 after members agreed to the decision.

As a result, the Fifa rankings for January 2022 will be used to seed the countries for the draw and the top five ranking countries on the continent will not meet themselves.

However, they will be paired with the remaining five unseeded countries

As per the latest ranking released by Fifa a week ago for the month of November, Senegal were the highest ranked African country.

The West African country ended the group stage of the World Cup qualifiers with an unbeaten run of five wins and a draw in six games. They are ranked 20th on the world stage.

North African giants Morocco moved to second position after overtaking Tunisia thanks to the back-to-back 3-0 victories over Sudan and Guinea in Group I of the qualifiers.

Tunisia are now ranked in third place on the continent as the Carthage Eagles topped Group B of the qualifiers.


African champions Algeria and Nigeria complete the top five spots in fourth and fifth place respectively while Egypt are in sixth position.

2021 Afcon hosts Cameroon occupy seventh position while Ghana are in eight position above Mali and Ivory Coast who follow in that order.

Should Ghana win the match fixing and manipulation protests filed against them by South Africa, then they could face either Senegal, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia or  Nigeria for a place at the World Cup next year.

The playoffs will be a double header and the games have been billed to take place in March 2022.

Ghana FA and South Africa Football Association are waiting for the final verdict from Fifa in the coming days and South Africa want a replay since they believe Senegalese referee Meguitta Ndiaye was influenced to award Ghana what they term as a dubious penalty

“I want to play like Virgil van Dijk,” Ghanaian defender Salisu aims at playing like Liverpool defender

The Saints will face Liverpool over the weekend in Premier League and the young Ghanaian defender admits he wants to emulate and be at the level of Virgil van Dijk

Ghana and Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu has revealed that he is aiming to play at the top level like Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk in future.

Jurgen Klopp’s men will host the side from Saint Mary’s this weekend at Anfield as they hope to keep the title chase on Chelsea and Salisu who has been in fine form since joining Southampton from La Liga side Rayo Vallecano last season, believes van Dijk is one of the best defenders in the world.

“I think Virgil is a very good central defender and, I would say, is one of the very best central defenders in the world,” Salisu told Daily Echo.

“One day, I want to be like him, especially with how he plays and the confidence he has and how he leads the team.”

Van Dijk, just like Salisu, began life in the Premier League with Southampton but the former went on to join Liverpool in January 2018 for a world-record of £75million, the most money ever paid for a defender at the time.

Van Dijk has won the Premier League, Champions League and has also being named the 2018-19 PFA Players’ Player of the Year.

“Kotoko is not any special team, Karela United will defeat them,” Kobi Mensah insists

The Pride and Passion gaffer is full of optimism that his charges will defeat the Porcupine Warriors this weekend

Karela United coach Bismark Kobi Mensah says his side will defeat Asante Kotoko in matchday five at the Cosby Awuah Memorial Park in Ainyinase on Sunday.

Kotoko have enjoyed an incredible start to the season under new coach Prosper Ogum Narteh. They have picked four wins out of four games and hope to add Karela to their victims but Mensah insists the Porcupine Warriors are not special regardless of the results they have chalked so far.

“Kotoko are not a special team so we are not afraid of them. We can beat them on Sunday, because they are really beatable,” Kobi Mensah told Domestic Sports.

“Supporters are sad but I don’t think they should because the league has not ended. We still have may matches to play and I believe that anything can happen,” he added.

Kotoko will likely miss midfielder Richmond Lamptey against Karela after he picked up an injury against Techiman Eleven Wonders last weekend unless he passes late fitness test.

Also, Mudasiru Salifu will not play part of the game following accumulated yellow cards as he is currently on three.

Karela have amassed five points after four games. They are yet to taste defeat at home after sharing the spoils with Aduana Stars and defeating Berekum Chelsea.

Asante Kotoko management member Dasoberi robbed at Accra Mall; thousands of cedis stolen

The Porcupine Warriors chief suffered a burglary in the country’s capital city while he was shopping at the Accra Mall on Thursday

Asante Kotoko Administrative Manager Emmanuel Newton Dasoberi has revealed his car was burgled at the Accra Mall while he was out there doing shopping.

Dasoberi announced the news on social media on Friday morning as he posted his account on how the robbery took place.

However, he sadly revealed that management of Accra Mall failed to identify or arrest the person who broke into his car despite being captured by the CCTV cameras around.

“The Management of the Accra Mall, must get serious and protect lives and property at the Mall. The kind of broad day breaking into cars and stealing items is serious,” Dasoberi posted on Facebook, Friday morning.

“I was a victim of this. Yesterday, whiles I parked at the Mall to buy some items thieves opened my car without breaking the window and made away with a substantial amount of money.

“So sad that when I requested for a CCTV review the guys at the control room told me they found nothing. I insisted on looking at the video footages with a colleague of mine.

“To our surprise, upon review we saw a guy opening the front passenger seat of my vehicle took the cash and went away. Is it not sad that security could not even detect this?” he quizzed.

“I tried calling the office line of the Mall and no one answered. Please be careful, when you visit the Accra Mall,” he added.

Kotoko will travel to Ainyinase to face Karela United in matchday five of Ghana Premier League and if Dasoberi fails to recover from the shock, he may be absent from the game.

“Kotoko not under pressure to defeat Karela United, fans should rather be supportive,” says Ogum

The Porcupine Warriors boss believes his charges are not under any pressure to pick three points from Ainyinase this weekend despite a section of the fans expecting them to continue their winning streak

Asante Kotoko coach Dr. Prosper Ogum Narteh has rejected suggestions that he is under pressure to defeat Karela United in matchday five of Ghana Premier League this weekend.

The Porcupine Warriors are heading to Ainyinase after their perfect start in the season as they are yet to taste defeat after four games.

Kotoko have opened up a seven point gap between them and their hosts but Ogum believes it is not a must win game irrespective of the fans’ expectations.

“There is no pressure on us to win this game and we are taking it cool as we prepare for the game on Sunday,” Ogum said.

“We take it match after match so there is no pressure on us.

“I think the [fans] should keep their cool and calm. They should be patient and should try as much as possible to be supportive as they have always been.

“It is a game model we are trying to develop for Asante Kotoko and it’s a blend of old and new guys. So I am appealing to them to be supportive as they have always and also trust the process,” he added.

Last season, Kotoko ended their poor run of results at Ainyinase under former coach Johnson Smith thanks to Imoro Ibrahim’s belter.

This season, they are in top form and yet to drop a point which has even doubled their confidence. Kotoko have scored eight goals so far -four goal away and four goals at home – and have only conceded one goal in the process.
