The 5 Derbies in the Week 14 of the First Capital Plus Premier League has come to an end, but the major talking points from BA United's victory to Accra Hearts of Oak's goalless draw game at the Accra Sports Stadium.
BA United vrs Berekum Chelsea
The predicted was that they (BA United) will do all they can to pick up the points availabe due to the difficulties Berekum Chelsea went through. BA United won the derby in a style but nothing changes for them on the league table, still at the bottom. Mustapha Mohammed and Charles Oppong gave the home team the lead before a survival goal came in the 92nd minutes through Stephen Asare Baffour for Chelsea but it was not enough to grab a point for them. BA United will travel away to Tarkwa to play Medeama SC whiles Berekum Chelsea to play Inter-Allies at home.
Aduana Stars vrs Bechem United
Aduana went for it and are holding on to their unbeaten run at home. Bechem drops to the 15th position after losing in the Bono derby. it coming because Dormaa is a difficult place for many clubs this season and it looked like Bechem could not survive. Great game by all standards. An early lead gave Aduana the win they needed courtesy Richard Addai. Aduana will be looking foward to close the gap at the top when they visit Liberty on Wednesday whiles Bechem will seek to bounce back against Hasaacas at home in midweek.
Hasaacas vrs Medeama SC
Medeama SC bad away form continues as they achieved their 3rd successive draw (6 games- 3 defeats, 3 draws). The Western derby produced a brace for Enmanuel Akobeah who scored for Hasaacas whiles Hans Kwofie and Nathaniel Asamoah did it for Medeama SC. It was a fairy-tale battle in the Western derby as it produced four (4) goals. Both teams rised to the occasion. Hasaacas maintained their position on the league table as Medeama on the rise. Medeama will welcome BA United at home whiles Hasaacas will travel to Bechem.
New Edubiase vrs Kumasi Asante Kotoko
The league champions are struggling to find their first victory after they were eliminated from the Inter-club competition. Edubiase played to the level as was expected and took the lead in the 9th minute through Benard Ofori but Kotoko equalised through Jordan Opoku and took the lead for the first time in the game courtesy Emmanuel Asante before New Edubiase captalized on the pressure they exerted on Kotoko through Haminu Dramani. What a game it was at Len Clay, anything expected in a derby match was produced after 90 minutes. Edubiase to play Olympics whiles Kotoko to welcome Lions.
Olympics vrs Hearts of Oak
It was obviously the game of the week and it never got bored or dull. Experience vrs a pacey side. Many fans expected goals in the Ga derby but, both coaches strategised well to let the points be splitted Hearts impacted their African style of play into the league for the first time but well organized Olympics stood to every battle on the pitch from their opponent. Good game to watch, and much will be expected in the return encounter. Fans trooped to the stadium in numbers and cheered their various clubs to victory but ended goalless. Richard Kingson is yet to concede in the league as Olympics takes on Edubiase, whiles Hearts travels to Len Clay to face the league leaders, Ashanti Gold in midweek.
