In a resounding comeback, Bechem United brushed aside their early-season woes with a commanding 2-0 triumph over Berekum Chelsea at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Stadium on Sunday, October 22, 2023.
Bismark Kobi Mensah, the gaffer for Bechem United, made significant changes to his lineup following a recent draw against Legon Cities. Seth Kwadwo assumed the captain’s armband, taking over from the unavailable Francis Twene who failed a fitness test.
The first half of the game remained goalless, with both sides fiercely contesting for control. However, it was in the 63rd minute that the deadlock was finally shattered by Augustine Okrah, providing The Hunters with a crucial lead.
As the clock ticked towards the 90th minute, Cephas Mantey struck a decisive blow, sealing Bechem United’s victory. This win not only ended Bechem United’s four-match winless streak but also elevated them from the bottom of the Premier League standings.
For Berekum Chelsea, the defeat marked a disappointing turn of events as they were unable to secure their first away win and build on a potential streak of two consecutive victories.
The victory for Kobi Mensah’s Bechem United will surely come as a huge relief, as it alleviates the considerable pressure that had been mounting over the past few weeks. The emphatic 2-0 win demonstrated their resilience and determination to turn their season around.
