Benab FC’s remarkable journey in Zone 7 of the Ashanti Regional Division Two League came to a triumphant end last Saturday, April 5, as they defeated third-placed Medimafo FC 2-1 in their final game to wrap up the regular season.
The match, played at the WESCO Park, saw Benab FC finish another season unbeaten, securing yet another Middle League spot.
The ‘Everything By God’ outfit ended the campaign with an impressive 16 wins and two draws, accumulating massive 50 points from 18 games.
This remarkable feat marked their fifth consecutive Middle League spot, a testament to the team’s consistency, quality and determination.
Medimafo FC, who had already lost twice to Benab FC this season, were determined to spoil what was a coronation day for the champions but the champions' momentum was unstoppable, and took the lead just after the half-hour mark through Mugis with a cool finish.
The challengers won't relent having fought back quickly to draw level just before the break with a well-crafted header in the penalty box. The first half ended with both teams level, setting the stage for a tensed second half.
Back from recess, the Green and Whites came out all guns blazing, determined to secure the win.
The much-desired winner came late in the game, when Medimafo’s goalkeeper failed to deal with Danger’s thunderbolt strike from a click, and Maxwell finished with a rebound at a close range to seal the victory.
Benab FC held on to their lead until the final whistle blew, sparking huge jubilations among the players and fans - who were left in raptures.
