Medeama midfielder, Rashid Nortey has charged the team to believe in themselves after the side's latest defeat left them in an unflattering 13th position on the league table.

Nortey bagged a brace as the Mauve and Yellows put up a spirited comeback in their 5-4 defeat at West African Football Academy in Sogakope.

WAFA took a sensational 4-0 lead in the first half to the amazement of the visitors.

Daniel Lomotey scored four goals in the process.

However, Medeama returned from the break-in buoyant spirit following pep-talks with coach Samuel Boadu.

Substitute Abass Mohammed reduced the deficit from the spot-kick before Rashid Nortey delivered a free-kick to make it 4-2.

Rashid Nortey turned the game on its head with a piledriver to make 4-3 to put the team on course for a historic comeback in the Ghanaian top-flight.

However, Lomotey spoiled the party, capitalizing on a defensive miscommunication to send the home team 5-3 ahead.

Justice Blay climbed off the bench with a powerful strike but that was not enough as the visitors lost 5-4.

But midfielder Rashid Nortey has urged the team to keep a positive attitude.

"We need to believe in ourselves a little bit more. It was the mistakes that cost us and we need to rectify that" - Rashid Nortey 23.
