The midweek GPL action across the various league centers could not have generated more thrills with surprise results recorded.
A beauty from Kwame Kizito kept Accra Hearts of Oak at the summit of the log whiles Kumasi Asante Kotoko were mauled at the Cape Coast Stadium.
In the north, a Paul Asare-inspired Wa All Stars spanked Techiman City FC 2-0 to keep alive the title hopes of the Northern Blues. The returning talisman registered his first league goal in over 500 days to double the lead for the host after Isaac Baah had put the ball in his own net on the stroke of half time.
Ebusua Dwarfs joined the goal feast at the new Cape Coast stadium with an avalanche of goals against a toothless Kumasi Asante Kotoko in a 4-1 demolition exercise. Bright Lukman brightened the future for the mystery club with a quick brace before Christopher Bonney made it 3-0 in 30 minutes. Nicholas Gyan and Amos Frimping completed the goal scoring spree in the nightmare trip for the Reds.
In the Brong Ahafo region, Hamza Mohammed denied Ashgold valuable points after an Amos Addae opener for the champions looked set to win the game for the miners. Bechem United snatched a late point for the host in a 1-1 end-to-end stuff for the Hunters.
Midfielder, Kwesu Donsu, extended his scoring run in the division with another masterpiece in a 1-0 win for Medeama over Liberty Professionals. The Mauves and Yellows head to the Wa Park in pursuit of the second spot at the weekend.
The mystical journey of Dreams FC continues to baffle many with another 2-0 win over the Ogya boys at the Dawu Park. A quick brace from Micheal Sarpong tamed the 2009/10 domestic champions and dealt a heavy blow in the title hopes of Manuel Zakarios’ men.
Animated trainer for Inter Allies, Jimmy James Cobblah, has Fred Boateng to thank for their late winner against WAFA SC at the Tema Park. WAFA SC could not replicate the form that saw them floor Wa All Stars at their Sogakope base against the ‘Eleven is to One’.
A dull 0-0 stalemate involving New Edubiase and Hasaacas ended a run of 9 away fixtures for the Doo Boys.
