Ghana Premier League: AshantiGold 0-1 Legon Cities – Mohammed Issaka struck in the first-half to hand second straight win to Royals

Legon Cities FC punched above their weights to hand a painful 1-0 home defeat to AshantiGold at the Len Clay Stadium in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Defender Mohammed Issaka hammered home the game’s only goal 5 minutes before the break and the Royals maintained their composure to finish the game as winners.

Thomas Duah’s side show a little desire, a little quality and a little less poise and grit to go for what was at stake in the game as Cities swept away the maximum points.

With head coach Bashir Hayford still on the road to recovery from illness his number 2 took charge of the game.

Cities have leapfrogged the Miners to go 9th on the table with 35 points and have completed a season double over AshantiGold after hammering them 5-2 in the first-leg tie in Accra in the first round.

AshantiGold have now lost their last two games in the league and just 5 points away from the drop zone.
