Real United win outstanding match

Efutu Koforidua (C/R) Jan 17, GNA - Nyinasin Real United played a purposeful game to beat Efutu Koforidua Super Stars 1-0 in their outstanding second division league match played at Efutu Koforidua town park on Friday. In a tension-packed match, characterised with a series of hold ups, class one referee, Michael Asare had to stamp his authority on the game to take the match through its full course of the stipulated 90 minutes.

Real United's midfielder, Mohammed Farouk, centre half, Wahab Nuhu, and outside right, Eric Nelson, were red carded for violent conduct, whilst Super Stars right full back Kojo Briamah and left half back Anthony Amissah were also sent off the field for similar offences. After a goalless first half, Real United resumed the second half strongly and managed to score the match winner in the 52nd minute through substitute Ali Abudulai. 1
