7. Kotoko 1-0 AshantiGold
The Porcupine Warriors hosted the original owners of the stadium in the Ashantiderby – having moved their home ground from Accra to Obuasi for the second round of the campaign.
However, Gama’s first half bullet header was all that the Porcupines needed to secure the maximum points at the Len Clay Stadium.
The victory means Kotoko are now in a tight horse race with Hearts of Oak, both on 50 points.
8. Great Olympics 1-1 Hearts of Oak
The Phobians were held to a 1-1 draw game at the Accra Sports Stadium on matchday 28 in the Ga Mashie derby.
The watch witnessed the attendance of Chelsea forward Callum Hudson-Odoi who is in his native country for vacation.
The Phobians after having Isaac Mensah’s first-half goal disallowed finally found the breakthrough in the second half.
Emmanuel Nettey’s connected home from Salifu Ibrahim’s cross to put his side ahead.
However, any hopes of holding onto the lead were shattered as Maxwell Abbey Quaye stole ahead of his marker to head home the equalizer for Great Olympics.
The result means Hearts still remain top of the table by virtue of superior goal difference with 50 points ahead of bitter rivals Asante Kotoko.
