Premier League: Liberty 6-2 RTU

At the Carl Rendorf Park ar Dansoman in Accra, Liberty Professionals handed Real Tamale United their heaviest defeat of the season by thrashing them 6-2 in their eighth week clash of the Onetouch Premier League.

As early as the half hour mark, Liberty was up by four goals, making the best out of the lack of co-operation exhibited by the visitors defence.

Striker Sam Ayew Yeboah began the goal harvest as early as the second minute, connecting home a through pass from Kofi Nti Boakye's run from midfield.

The early goal unsettled the Tamale lads whose case was compounded by lack of coordination exhibited by the backline of Baba Hassan Kullog, Mohammed Baker, Alhassan Hamdu and Kwame Adjagba.

Ten minutes later, Mustapha Essuman made it two by tapping in Richard Kissi's cross, which was deflected onto his path by Hamdu. As RTU lingered to settle, Liberty bombarded their goal area with several raids led by Yeboah and Nti Boakye.

In the 19th minute, Essuman nearly grabbed a brace and the third for his side but his thunderbolt ricocheted off the cross bar to the relief of the visitors.

Two minutes later, Kwame Antwi scored the third goal for Liberty by connecting a rebound after RTU goalie, Issah Najawu parried Essuman's drive into play before Ayew made it four with low shot from Antwi's lob. RTU coach Abdul Razak was forced to make two changes, bringing out Hanan Giwah and Najawu for Faisal Sulemana and Mohammed Opash respectively, which paid off.

In the 41st minute, Mohammed Fatau pulled one back with a beautiful header from Kullog's free-kick.

RTU resumed the second half strongly and managed to score the second goal through Shilla Alhassan from a goal mouth action in the 52nd.

However their dreams of further reducing the margin went dead after strikes from Nti Boakye and Emmanuel Allan in the 69th and 72nd minutes respectively.
