Bechem United showcased their dominance at home with a resounding 3-0 triumph over league leaders Heart of Lions in their Ghana Premier League clash at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park on Sunday.
The Hunters delivered a statement performance in the matchday 16 encounter, rebounding strongly from last week’s default loss and extending their home winning streak to six matches.
Darlvin Yeboah opened the scoring late in the first half, reacting quickly to a loose ball after Lions’ goalkeeper Lawrence Osei failed to deal with a set-piece.
Bechem doubled their lead just before the halftime whistle when Emmanuel Abban capitalized on a defensive mishap, giving the home side a comfortable cushion heading into the break.
The second half saw Bechem continue to dictate play, with Abban completing his brace in the 71st minute to put the result beyond doubt and secure a convincing victory for the hosts.
The loss ended Heart of Lions’ remarkable eight-game unbeaten run, leaving them with questions to address despite retaining their position at the top of the table.
Bechem’s emphatic win propelled them to fourth place in the standings, signaling their growing threat in the title race. Meanwhile, Lions, though still leading, are now tied on points with second-placed Bibiani Goldstars FC, setting up a thrilling battle for supremacy in the coming weeks.
