In a spectacular turn of events, Medeama achieved a remarkable comeback, securing a 2-1 victory over Bechem United at the Nana Gyeabour Park in the Ghana Premier League on Saturday. This historic win marked Medeama’s first-ever success at the venue and left the home fans in awe.
The hero of the day for Medeama was substitute Ebenezer Nkrumah, who delivered a spectacular long-range strike that left goalkeeper Benjamin Asiedu helpless, finding the net with just five minutes remaining on the clock. This stunning goal secured maximum points for the visiting team and silenced the Bechem United supporters.
The match had seen Bechem United take an early lead in the 27th minute when Cephas Kofi Mantey found the net with a close-range effort, catching Medeama’s defenders off guard. In the first half, Medeama appeared disjointed, and star striker Jonathan Sowah struggled to make an impact.
However, after returning from halftime, Medeama regrouped and increased the pressure on the home side. Their efforts paid off when Jonathan Sowah skillfully placed the ball past Benjamin Asiedu, thanks to a sublime pass from substitute Nana Kofi Babil.
The turning point came when Ebenezer Nkrumah stepped up with a piledriver, securing victory for the Ghanaian giants and capping off a spirited performance. This win also lifted Medeama out of the bottom zone in the league standings.
With an upcoming match against Nation FC on October 19, Medeama will now shift their focus to a Capital City match against DC United in Washington, the United States of America. This remarkable victory at Nana Gyeabour Park will undoubtedly boost their confidence as they prepare for future challenges.
