At Waterloo, Napoleon surrendered. Oh, yeah. Bofoakwa gained promotion back to the Ghana Premier League after a 16-year hiatus.
They got off to a wonderful start by enjoying 7 games unbeaten run (5 draws, 2 wins) including a sweet victory vs Hearts of Oak on MD3. They have been winless since then, having drawn all 4 games.
Bofo has been grinding out results- it is uncommon in GPL for a new club to enjoy the first 7 weeks without tasting a single defeat. Frimpong Manso and his tough guys have punched above their weight.
On Wednesday afternoon at the Nana Agyeman Badu I Park in Dormaa Ahenkro, Tano Boafokwa surrendered in fashion Napoleon did surrender at Waterloo.
A 5-star performance from the Ogya boys condemned Tano Bofoakwa to their first-ever defeat in the GPL since losing 1-0 at home to Ashanti Gold SC in MD28 of the 2007 season.
An entertaining second half saw 6 goals with a brace each from red-hot Isaac Mintah and teenager Emmanuel Obuobi for Aduana whereas Saaka Dauda’s brace was just a consolation for Bofoakwa Tano.
The Bono derby promised to be a cagey affair as Ogya Boys faced Bofo having won their last 2 games with 2 goal margin each. The first half saw few chances and actions but the second half was a half to be remembered for ages. 6 goals in 27 minutes, 3 braces of goals from three different players. The Bono Derby lived to its expectations.
Aduana Stars is on top of the table now and will visit Heart of Lions in Hohoe. Are they going to slaughter another stubborn newly promoted side?
Tano Bofoakwa will look forward to bouncing back with a home fixture against fellow new boys, Nations FC who have lost all their 4 away fixtures but destroyed RTU at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex by 4-0 this afternoon.
