NOT THE START COACH COOREMAN WANTED Champions Asante Kotoko began the defence of their title with an unconvincing goalless draw against King Faisal at the Baba Yara Stadium on the opening weekend of the league on Sunday.

The shocking result was at the Ohene Djan Stadium where Liberty Professionals suffered a humiliating 2-3 defeat to newly-promoted Bechem Chelsea.

 

Black Stars striker Yaw Antwi opened the scoring on 9 minutes when he tapped in from close after Latif Salifu's shot was parried back into play.

Teenager Salifu drew level for Liberty in the 58th minute but Ibrahim Isaaka sealed victory for the new boys two minute later.

 

AshantiGold under new owners, Fortia consortium, made a flying start to their league campaign.

Taufik Alolo got the consolation for RTU in the 74th minute.

 

Kessben enveloped Wise All Stars' visit to the Anane Boateng Stadium in Abrankese with a 2-0 success.

 

Kofi Ayare and Gideon Tibia's 47th and 58th minute strikes sealed it.

 

Hasaacas failed to score at home against Wa All Stars.

 

Alexander Antwi scored on the death of the game to earn a point for Tema Youth in their 1-1 draw at All Blacks.

Arsenals secured the maximum points at home against Heart of Lions. Amidu Alhassan scored from close range in the 44th minute to bag the points.
