Match Report: Medeama 2-1 Ebusua Dwarfs

Medeama recorded their first win of the season with a hard-fought 2-1 home win over Ebusua Dwarfs in an outstanding Premier League fixture on Wednesday to move just above the relegation zone.

Midfielder Kwesi Donsu scored a trademark free kick to give the host a well deserved lead before in-form striker Abass Mohammed doubled the lead.

But Bright Lukeman clawed a goal back to give the visitors a last gasp hope which never materialised.

Medeama clearly deserved the victory after enjoying the chunk possession.

The CAF Confederation Cup campaigners kept the heat on the Cape Coast-based side, who only resulted to counter-breaks to upset their host.

Donsu, who is an expert in free-kicks missed several golden opportunities in the first half.

But the former Berlin FC intelligent enforcer made amends with a well taken goal from a dead ball situation to send the home fans into frenzy.

The two-time FA Champions, who are smarting from their progression in the CAF Confederation Cup, continued their search for the second goal.

And in one of those raids, in-form striker Abass Mohammed picked his spot to slot home from close range for the insurance goal.

But the visitors pulled one back immediately through Bright Lukeman to give them a realistic hope of sharing the spoils.

But it was too little, too late as the home side bagged maximum points to move above the relegation zone with four points from four games.

Medeama, who have played a game less have another outstanding fixture against Berekum Chelsea next Wednesday.
