Kessben maintain winning spree

Accra, Sept. 19, GNA - Sekondi-based Kessben FC have so far maintained their winning spree this season when they chalked a lone goal victory over Dansoman-Liberty Professionals in their week three Glo Premiership clash at the Ohene Djan Stadium, Accra on Sunday. Hans Kwofie scored the only goal of the match on 54 minutes to hand his side a deserved victory as they maintained their hundred percent record.

Liberty enjoying one of their worst starts since joining the elite division over a decade ago, failed to sparkle yet again as they were outplayed by the visitors.

Kessben played as if they were at their home base and backed by their vociferous traveling fans, Liberty were found wanting as they displayed an output unlike their 'Scientific Soccer lads' accolade. The visitors proved that their victories over Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts of Oak were no fluke as they really taught Liberty some soccer lessons.

From the blast of the referee's whistle, it was the visitors who took absolute control of proceedings and it was only a matter of time that the opener would come.

However, their offensive midfielder Issah Salihu fumbled with several of the chances that came their way, thus compelling coach Bashir Hayford to replace him with Joe Pau Asante. Upon resumption of the second half, Kessben continued to raid the Liberty half and nine minutes into the half, Kwofie struck home with a shot that left Liberty goalie Akwasi Acheampong with no answers as he was stranded in his strides.

On 68 minutes, the upright came to Liberty's rescue kissing Richard Mpong's goal bound shot following a swift combination with Kwofie. Liberty gradually came into the picture as they exhausted their substitutions with the intro of Kevin Koaukou, Ofoe Ofotsu and Abubakar Swalla but their presence could not make any impact in their play for them to taste their third successive defeat of the three-week old premiership.
