Tema Youth gained promotion to the Premier League on Sunday, two years after being relegated, thanks to a 4-1 win over D’International in a play-off decider.

Moses Odjer gave the Tema-based side a first half lead with a 9th minute opener.

Benjamin Akufo added the second in the 62nd minute before Ernest Tsukodoe two minutes later.

Benjamin Terry restored Tema Youth’s two-goal lead with the third on the 70th minute mark.

Hamza Abdulai got the fourth goal in the 88th minute.

Both teams went into the tie, with six points apiece and needed the last match to determine who wins promotion from zone III.

Tema Youth were plunged from the top flight after being docked 12 points for illegally registering striker Emmanuel Clottey.

In the other Group match nine-man King Solomon FC drew one-all with Tete Atenpong at the Robert Mensah Stadium in Cape-Coast.

Bechem FC were third time lucky as a final day 2-0 win over Guan United at the Tema Sports Stadium to secure a historic qualification.

In the other match, Unity FC beat Bazooka FC by the same scoreline at the El-Wak Park.
