Power Beat Liberty

Power FC continued with their winning spirit when they beat visiting Dansoman-based Liberty Professionals by two goals to one in their OneTouch Premier League encounter at the Ho Sports Stadium on Sunday.

Power started the game on a low key allowing Liberty to determine the pace of the game for the first quarter of the match but they gradually warmed up later in the dying minutes of the first half and created few chances, which they missed narrowly. Liberty who dominated the attack and were on top of proceedings upfront throughout the first half were however unable to put the ball into the net.


Four minutes into the second half, Power increased the pressure on Liberty and earned a free kick outside the penalty box, which was beautifully converted by Francis Coffie in the 49th minute for the opener.

Liberty fought back with swift passes and quickly got the equalizer in the 56th minute through Sherif Danlardi whose long range shot went beyond the reach of Alfred Mills in goal for Power. Three minutes later, Power's Addo Adokwei Daniel was jostled in the 18 yard area of Liberty in a goalmouth melee and the home team was awarded a spot kick, which was again converted by Coffie to increase his side's goal tally to two.


Liberty marshalled all their energy in an effort to level up the scores in the dying minutes but they were denied on several occasions by defence of Power centred around "Clearance-man", Moses Abban Moses who was however shown the red card in the 90th minute for delay tactics. Francis Coffie was adjudged man of the match.
