Liberty pip Bofoakwa 1-0 in Sunyani

Visiting Liberty Professionals beat Bofoakwa Tano 1-0 in their Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) ''Top Four'' special soccer match played at the Sunyani Coronation Park on Sunday. Liberty’s captain Jonathan Quartey moved from the left wing position to the right side and dribbled past three defenders before flicking the ball past onrushing goalkeeper James Danso for the only goal of the match in the 68th minute.

Bofoakwa, Tano, led by Baffour Gyimah of the national Under-21 fame, squandered the few good chances that came their way while Mohammed, Ebenezer Gyan (alias Sampene), Kofi Asiedu and Kennedy Boadi could not go past the Liberty defence.

Both sides made changes on resumption but it was the Liberty boys whose attacking force of Issifu Awal, Albert Neequaye, Yeboah Dan, Albert Batse and Quartey Jonathan played better. Bofoakwa Tano sensing humiliation tried all avenues for the equaliser but goalkeeper Addo Cudjoe of Liberty thwarted all their efforts till the final whistle.
