Bechem United have made a quick return to the Premier League, just one season after they were relegated from the top-flight.

On the second day of the Division One play-offs, Bechem won the top of the table clash 1-0 over Guan United on Saturday at the Essipong Stadium.

The win, their second in the Zone 1 promotion campaign leaves them top of the standings with 6 points despite having a final game to come.

Irrespective of the results of the final day matches, Bechem, who were relegated from the Premier League to the lower division last season are trough via the head-to-head rule after winning against B.A. United and Guan.

In the other fixture, B.A. United defeated Yassin FC 2-0 at the Robert Mensah Stadium but their hopes of a return to the Premier League were dashed following Bechem's victory in Sekondi.

The win was B.A.'s first in the play-offs while Yassin have lost both games.

Bechem have now joined Inter Allies as the two sides to secured qualification for next season's Premier League with a third qualifying spot yet to be decided in Zone 2.
