Bechem, meanwhile, are still searching for their first win after three matches, having picked up just one point.

At the Accra Sports Stadium, Hearts of Oak edged Eleven Wonders 1-0 thanks to Enoch Asubonteng’s goal. The Phobians have now won three straight games without conceding a single goal, while Eleven Wonders remain winless and pointless.

In Dormaa, Aduana Stars came from behind to beat Swedru All Blacks 2-1 at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park. Emmanuel Marfo’s brace sealed the comeback for the Fire Boys.

At Tema, Vision FC registered their first victory of the campaign with a 2-0 win over Hohoe United. Kusi Asante and Emmanuel Sanja were on target.

In Tamale, Karela United maintained their unbeaten run with a late 1-0 win against Medeama. Mortu’s strike ended Medeama’s perfect start to the season.

Elsewhere, Nations FC were held to a goalless draw by Samartex at the Dr. Kyei Sports Stadium.

In Wenchi, Young Apostles led Dreams FC 1-0 at halftime before heavy rain forced the game to be abandoned. The fixture will be completed on Monday.

Bibiani GoldStars’ clash with Berekum Chelsea and Basake Holy Stars’ meeting with Kotoko were both postponed due to the clubs’ involvement in African competitions.
