GPL review: Hearts, Kotoko return to winning ways as Medeama ends WAFA’s unbeaten run

-

Two first half goals from forwards Bless Bakai  and Joseph Esso plus another from substitute Cosmos Duada in the second half  saw Hearts of Oak beat the Northern Blues 3-1 to return to winning ways.
The Phobians who were humiliated by a similar score line in Berekum last weekend, came into the game with the right attitude and produced two excellent goals for their efforts.
Sarfo Castro’s Wa All Stars changed the rhythm of the game in the second half when they began to dictate the pace, earning them a penalty which they excellently converted.
Cosmos Dauda replaced Selasie Bakai upfront in the second half only to put the icing on the cake for the Phobians when he tapped in a Fatawu Mohammed cross to end the game in favor of the home side.
Asante Kotoko at the Babayara Sports Stadium also recovered from their 2-1 loss in the Ashanti Derby to AshantiGold and beat visiting Dwarfs by the same score line to grab all three points.
Medeama Sc and Liberty Professionals set out to make history as both clubs pulled the breaks on WAFA and AshantiGold’s unbeaten run respectively.
AshantiGold had remained unbeaten in the last five games beating both Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak in the process but were piped 1-0 at the Karl Reindolf park to end that Dominance.
Medeama SC on the other hand travelled to the dreaded Sogakope Arena to cause a stir as the Mauve and Yellow also halted WAFA’s 47 games unbeaten home record by beating them 2-1.
In other games, Bechem United beat Dreams FC 2-1 as Elmina Sharks outplayed Inter allies, beating them 1-0.  Aduana starts continue to make the Agyeman Badu park a feared venue when they handed Elven wonders a 4-1 beating to end proceedings.
Karela FC today will take on Berekum Chelsea hoping to grab a win after returning from DAwu with a crucial point last Sunday.
