The Porcupine Warriors fell at the Wa Park to give All Stars their first ever victory over the Kumasi-based club at home. The Fabulous club still hold on to their top position in the summit of Ghana football despite the defeat. The Blues’ goal came from Samuel Azumah in the first half.

Medeama came top in the Sekondi derby this weekend with a 2-1 win over debutants Wassaman. Nana Yaw Afriyie opened the scoring 15 minutes into the game. Augustine Sefa made it two for the home side before Abubukar Mumuni got a consolation for his team.
The game between former league champions Aduana Stars and Ebusua Dwarfs ended in a stalemate. Aduana could have carried the day, but Godfred Saka failed to convert from the spot at the Agyeman Badu Park in the first half.
The wings of Mighty Jets were plucked at the Len Clay Stadium when they suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of AshantiGold. Yakubu Mohammed bagged a brace and the final goal came through Aminu Mohammed.
New Edubiase drew 1-1 with Liberty Professionals at the Carl Reindorf Park. Atobrah Asiedu got his name on the board for Edubiase while goalkeeper Daniel Agyei converted from the spot to pull level for his Dansoman-based side.

Striker Emmanuel Clottey’s opening goal was cancelled by opponent Gilbert Fiamenyo to end the game at the Golden City Park in a deadlock.  

Accra giants Hearts of Oak were held by Tema Youth at the Tema Park to deny them the chance to move joint-top with arch-rivals Asante Kotoko. An own goal by Jeremiah Arkorful put Hearts in the lead, but with three minutes to go, Kenneth Owusu stole the show with the equaliser for his side.

Stephen Amankwah’s second-half finish rescued a point for Berekum Arsenal as they drew at the Bechem Park on Saturday. The Gunners came from behind to draw 1-1 with Bechem United.
