Hearts beaten at Tamale
An 87th minute goal by RTU's inside right Komi Adzagba, broke the undefeated record of Accra Hearts of Oak in the Star Premier League, when the two sides met on Wednesday at the grassless Kalanda Park in Tamale.
RTU leapfrog from the seventh position on the table to the fifth on 25 points while Hearts maintain their thin lead with 42 points.
The match was heading for a draw until RTU's Nurudeen Wemah took the ball from his half and dribbled three Hearts players on the run before lobbing it to Komi to control with his chest and fired into the net.
RTU had earlier scored in the 78th minute, but was disallowed by Kumasi-based referee G.K. Zorvie.
When the final whistle was blown, the supporters rushed onto the field and carried the lone-goal hero Komi and the goalkeeper Abukari Sulemana shoulder-high.
The match itself was played mostly in the mid-field and characterised by near misses.
Hearts' Edmund Copson, nearly scored in the 15th minute but shot wild when he had only the goalkeeper to beat.
It became a ding-dong affair with RTU slightly ahead till the end of the first half.
Hearts mid-fielder Joe Ansah and RTU's central forward Ibrahim Mugu were the worse offenders as they squandered several scoring chances.
Hearts head coach, Cecil Jones Attuquayefio said he was disappointed about the score and attributed the defeat to the absence of his key players including Osei Kuffour.
But when the reporter told him that Kotoko had also lost, he said, "you don't mean it," apparently happy that the league table will not change at the top.

Goldfields shock Kotoko 2-0

Two devastating free kicks by Robert Amoako one in each half, gave Obuasi Goldfields a 2-0 victory over Kumasi Asante Kotoko in their mid-week premier league at the Len clay Stadium.
Despite the loss, Kotoko are still second on the league table with 41 points as their archrivals Hearts who also lost 0-1 to Real Tamale United maintain their thin lead on 42 points.
Both teams started the game more cautiously but it was the Miners who exhibited more upfront action throwing the first chance away as Nana Arhin Duah's volley went off target.
Kotoko came close to breaking the deadlock in the 17th minute but Michael Robertson saved Nana Frimpong's deceptive header.
Amoako opened the scores for Goldfields in the 27th minute, when he converted a free kick few metres away from the '18'.
The two teams stepped up their game thereafter, but it was Kotoko who wasted three corner kicks in succession in the 28th, 31st and 38th as against Goldfields' in the 34th and 41st minutes.
The Miners nearly increased the tally in the 48th minute but Amoako's second free kick hit the cross bar and rebounded into play.
Urged on by their few supporters, Goldfields kept the fight to their visitors wasting another scoring chance in the 55th minute as Ofosu Amoah with keeper to beat shot wide.
Kotoko quickly brought on Kwaku Duah and Joe Okyere for Joe Sam and Nana Frimpong while Goldfields replaced Aminu Musah with Asare Boateng but it was the
Miners who raised the tally to two in the 71st minute through another free kick by Amoako.

Olympics registers dream victory

Accra Great Olympics beat visiting Adansiman United by a lone goal to put some smiles back on the faces of their longsuffering supporters in their 17th- week Star Premier League match played at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The victory which is the third registered by Olympics so far, came as early as the 16th minute through hard working Kobina Dodzie who volleyed in a well placed header from Emmanuel Adjei.
Olympics pushed hard from kick off as they harassed the goal area of Adansiman with gangling striker Albert Nkansah leading the onslaught. However, poor shooting robbed them of many scoring chances.
In the second half Adansiman stepped up their game, as they brought on Nii Aryee Hammond for Ben Amankwa and concentrated their attacked from the left flanks but could not find their way through the defence of Olympics.
With the game drawing to a close, J. B. Danquah nearly made it two in the 89th minute but Antwi in post for Adansiman stretched to push a goal bound shot to touch.
