GPL Week 11: Kotoko, AshantiGold in a stalemate, Legon Cities sink Inter Allies

By Simon Asare

Accra, Jan. 31, GNA – The match-day 11 of the
2020/21 Ghana Premier League (GPL) witnessed some
stunning results at various league centres during
the weekend.

The biggest winners of week 11 happened at
Sogakope, when West Africa Football Academy (WAFA)
annihilated Liberty Professionals 5-0 with all
goals coming in the second half.

League leaders Karela United continued their
perfect home record this season as they dispatched
Medeama 2-0 in the Nzema derby.

They have thus moved from to the top of the league
with 21 points while Bechem United are placed
second with 19 points after the Hunters defeated
Eleven Wonders 3-1 in the first match of the
week.

Legon Cities recorded a crucial victory against
fellow strugglers Inter Allies to move out of the
relegation.

It was Matthew Anim Cudjoe's first half strike
which powered the Royals as they recorded back to
back victories having thumped AshantiGold 5-2 last
week.

The Ashanti derby did not live up to the hype as
Asante Kotoko held AshantiGold in scoreless game
at the Obuasi Len Clay Sports Stadium.

The 'Ga Mashie' derby on the other hand saw Accra
Great Olympics secure maximum points after
defeating Accra Hearts of Oak 2-0 at the Accra
Sports Stadium.

A sublime free-kick by Captain Gladson Awako and
perfectly placed strike by Maxwell Abbey was
enough to secure the spoils for Great Olympics as
they move third in the league.

Aduana Stars were held to a 2-2 draw game by
Ebusua Dwarfs at the Dormaa Park, whilst Elmina
Sharks were also held by Dreams by the same
scoreline.

The biggest surprise for the week came at the
Ohene Ameyaw Park after King Faisal despite being
three goals down in the first 20 minutes of their
clash against Berekum Chelsea delivered a stunning
came back to win 4-3.

It was only the second win for the "Insha Allah"
Boys as it lifted them from the bottom of the
table but are still in the relegation zone
together with Inter Allies and Liberty
Professionals.
