Planners Athletic Club dominated and outclassed Accra Young Wise by posting a 3-0 win over the Division One League Zone 3 rivals at the Carl Reindorf Park on Saturday.

Injury returnee Eric Abdul Razak Kipo opened the scoring on the 33rd-minute mark before winger Osman Haqi increased the tally with a clinical finish five minutes later. Striker Samuel Dadebore sealed the win with a 44th-minute silky finish.

Coach Emmanuel Bulley took charge of his first game and issued instructions from the dug-out. Bulley handed starting berths to Razak Kipo, Joseph Ato Junior, Dadebore and Nana Opare Agyemang.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Rashid Musah took the place of Kwasi Nketia as the head coach rang changes in the department.

Planners systematically took charge of the game after the first quarter with Ato Junior, Osman and Adams Junior stamping their authority in the game.

Osman was slippery and too hot for the opposition defenders to handle while Ato Junior and Adams Junior pulled the strings in midfield while laterals Nana Opare and Emmanuel McCarthy exerting awesome mobility from all their various positions.

The first goal arrived 12 minutes before the interval when Osman outpaced and outclassed his markers before setting up Razak who headed the ball home for his third goal of the campaign.

Five minutes later Osman himself put the ball in the net when he displayed great resilience to tuck the ball home from close range following a goalmouth melee.

Samuel Dadebore registered his first goal of the season with a neat finish in the 44th minute when he rounded the goalkeeper before smashing the ball past the keeper.

After the break skipper Richard Kotey was withdrawn for Johnson Ahorlu as he handed the armband to Vitus Yamoah.

Right-back Nana Opare sustained a groin injury and had to be replaced by Joshua Karbo.

Johnson Ahorlu and Dadebore all missed glorious chances to increase the tally in the second-half with the clearest of the opportunities falling to Ahorlu who mistimed his kick to miss from a gaping a net following beautiful combination play by Osman and Razak.
