Chelsea captain Mohammed Abdul Basit made it in the team of the week<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The spotlight was at the Gyemfi Park in the week nine (9) matches of the Ghana Premier League.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leaders Asante Kotoko succumbed to the might of Edubiase FC which ended the table toppers unbeaten run.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Accra Hearts of Oak failed to reclaim the top spot when they drew barren with visiting Aduana Stars.<\/p>\n

The fixture in Accra was not the only goalless draw game as Berekum Chelsea also held in form Dwarfs at the Robert Mensah Stadium.<\/p>\n

These clubs were represented in the team of the week put together by GHANAsoccernet\u2019s SADDICK ADAMS.<\/p>\n

TEAM OF THE WEEK- FORMATION 4-5-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goalkeeper-IDDRISSU ABUBAKAR (Chelsea) V Dwarfs<\/strong><\/p>\n

The shot stopper was selected by Hans Van der Plyum ahead of first and second choices Ernest Sowah and John Mossi respectively and Iddrisu proved his worth.<\/p>\n

He demonstrated his flair for the big saves with his first-half parry of Bismark Asiedu\u2019s fierce strike and maintained his concentration with a commanding display.<\/p>\n

On two occasions he denied George Arthur before making a timely interception to grab the ball off the feet of Seidu Bancey in the dying minutes to secure a point for the defending champions.<\/p>\n

Right Full-Back \u2013 GODFRED OFOSU (Bechem United) V AshGold<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fosu made the most telling contributions of the game in what was a rare off-day for the Full-back.<\/p>\n

The diminutive former Kotoko defender worked tirelessly on the right flanks and whipped in some decent cross.<\/p>\n

He assisted the first goal with a brilliantly taken corner-kick in the first half before skating\u00a0 past two AshGold defenders to send in the cross that resulted in the melee for home side\u2019s second.<\/p>\n

Left Full-Back \u2013 BABA GULLIT (Liberty) V Jets<\/strong><\/p>\n

The swift Liberty full back was the only lively product in a relatively dull encounter in the final mid-week match on Thursday at the Accra Sports Stadium.<\/p>\n

He gave the jets defence a hell of time and was very unlucky to be on the losing side.<\/p>\n

Gullit sent in couple of decent crosses but his partner Zubeiru Fuseini failed to capitalise on the feeds.<\/p>\n

Center Defender-CARLOS COFFIE (Edubiase) V Kotoko<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coffie put up a commanding display by the Edubiase center back.<\/p>\n

He used his intimidating stature very well to shove Ahmed Toure and Nafiu Iddrisu from his goal area especially in the first half.<\/p>\n

Coffie not only easily quelled any threat posed by hapless Kotoko attack but also linked play very well with his midfield.<\/p>\n

Center Defender- RASHID SUMAILA (Dwarfs) V Chelsea<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ghana International makes my team of the week for the second consecutive week.<\/p>\n

Sumaila proved reliable at the back for Dwarfs while also moved forward well.<\/p>\n

He kept the screws on Emmanuel Clottey and Nana Poku when they attacked in the middle of the dwarfs defence.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old made good interceptions and broke with pace on some few moments.<\/p>\n

Midfield- ASIEDU ATOBRAH (Edubiase) V Kotoko<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was very much Edubiase\u2019s controller in the centre of the pitch, playing deeper than his partner Mumuni Abubakar.<\/p>\n

He made good runs going forward but his main responsibility was to deal with the constantly improving Kotoko midfield marshaled by Yahaya Mohammed, something he never stopped trying to do.<\/p>\n

He swept a very dangerous shot across the face of goal on the 25th minute after going past Yahaya and Baba Rahman but there was no connection.<\/p>\n

Atobrah covered a lot of ground and never lost energy throughout the game.<\/p>\n

Midfield- ABDUL BASIT (Chelsea) V Dwarfs<\/strong><\/p>\n

He used his experience to keep Arthur reasonably quiet in the opening 45 minutes, and also supported his defence in handling Bancey.<\/p>\n

The Chelsea skipper was strong in the centre of the pitch and broke up a lot of Dwarfs attacks.<\/p>\n

Basit also showed a good eye going forward and was unlucky not to create a chance for Clottey in the opening 20 minutes when the striker blasted wide.<\/p>\n

Midfield- JAMES BOADU (Arsenal) V Medeama SC<\/strong><\/p>\n

A strong performance in the centre of midfield alongside Stephen Amankwaah and Danjumah Gafaru, the experienced Boadu worked tirelessly to keep his side in the game.<\/p>\n
