At Abura Odonase in the Central Region, Fantse Nyankomase BRM Football Club whipped Assin Fosu Soccer Missionaries 2-0 in their second division league match played at the Odonase Roman Catholic school park on Sunday 28 October 2001.

From the blast of the whistle, BRM dictated the pace of the game and got the opener through centre forward Iddrus Mohammed whose powerful shot hit the upright before entering the net in the 44th minute.

Soccer missionaries resumed the second half with greater determination and came close to scoring in the 60th and 65th minutes but their forwards squandered the chances.

They continued to dominate the game but their hopes of drawing level with BRM were dashed when outside right Alex Coffie exploited a defensive blunder to raise the tally to 2-0 in the 78th minutes.
