In a commanding performance at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex, Nations FC secured a comfortable win over Berekum Chelsea in their matchday 22 premier league fixture on Sunday, March 17, 2024.
Asamoah Boateng emerged as the hero for Nations FC, netting a brace, while Bismark Oppong also found the back of the net to ensure victory for the top-flight debutants. The win comes as a redemption for Nations FC after suffering a defeat to Legon Cities in their previous match.
The first half seemed destined for a goalless draw until Boateng broke the deadlock just before halftime, giving Nations FC the lead on the stroke of the 45th minute.
After the break, Nations FC continued to dominate proceedings, with Oppong extending their lead with a goal in the 71st minute. Boateng then completed his brace, adding a third goal for his side just nine minutes before full time.
With this impressive victory, Nations FC leapfrogged Berekum Chelsea to claim third place on the league standings with 34 points, positioning themselves just five points behind leaders Samartex. On the other hand, Berekum Chelsea, under new head coach Samuel Boadu, suffered their first defeat, dropping to fifth place in the league table.
Nations FC will look to maintain their momentum as they prepare to host Dreams FC in their next match, while Berekum Chelsea will aim to bounce back as they return home to face Bechem United.
