Bechem United woke up from their recent slump and dealt FC Samartex 1996 a second consecutive defeat in the Ghana Premier League.
The Hunters secured an early lead with a goal from defender Joseph Kinful just two minutes into the game. This victory marked the beginning of a new era for Bechem United after the departure of head coach Bismark Kobi-Mensah.
Assistant coach Seth Osei Wire made strategic changes to the team lineup, including bringing in Dari Aziz Haruna as the goalkeeper and giving youngster David Asabere his first start of the season in place of Emmanuel Owusu. Emmanuel Ababio and Emmanuel Annor also returned to the starting eleven.
Meanwhile, Samartex coach Nurudeen Amadu made only one change to his team, with Richmond Darko replacing Gabriel Appiah in the starting lineup.
Bechem United sealed their victory with a 1-0 win over Samartex at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park on Sunday afternoon, putting an end to their recent struggles.
Despite the back-to-back defeats, Samartex still holds the top spot in the league table. However, their lead has narrowed to just two points following Aduana Stars’ recent victory.
Bechem United currently occupies the 7th position in the league standings with 29 points from 19 matches, with one game in hand. They will look to capitalize on this momentum and climb higher in the table in the upcoming fixtures.
