In a remarkable upset during Week Ten of the Ghana Premier League on Sunday, November 12, 2023, Berekum Chelsea achieved the unthinkable by securing a 0-1 victory over the defending champions, Medeama, at the Akoon Park in Tarkwa. The match saw Stephen Amankona’s goal in the 26th minute sealing all three crucial points for Berekum Chelsea.
Despite Medeama starting the game as favorites, having recently triumphed over Nsoatreman FC at home, they were unable to respond to Amankona’s decisive strike, even with their possession dominance.
This marked Medeama’s first defeat at home this season, having previously secured three wins and a draw, the latter against Accra Lions. The loss shifted Medeama to the fifth position in the league standings, sharing the same sixteen points with Berekum Chelsea, who ascended to the fourth position after their stunning victory.
Looking ahead, Medeama faces a challenging fixture against struggling Asante Kotoko at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, while Berekum Chelsea will host Legon Cities at the Golden City Park in Berekum on the upcoming Sunday. The unexpected outcome adds a significant twist to the landscape of the Ghana Premier League as Berekum Chelsea celebrates their impressive triumph over the defending champions.
