Two-time champions Medeama faced a disappointing exit from the Ghana FA Cup as they fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat against Skyy FC on Sunday.
Eric Antwi Konadu's 7th-minute goal proved to be the decisive factor, separating the two sides at the St Martins Park in Daboase. Konadu capitalized on a Kwadwo Amoako error, calmly slotting the ball into the net.
The Mauve and Yellow find themselves in a hitting crisis, evident in their recent lackluster performances on the domestic scene. A goalless draw against Karela United and a defeat to Real Tamale United have unveiled underlying challenges for Medeama.
Despite the atmosphere appearing electric at St Martins, with the home side confidently advancing to the Round of 16 in front of a packed crowd, Medeama struggled to find their rhythm. Goalkeeper Abdul Adam Jabal, brought in to replace the first choice Felix Kyei, conceded as Medeama crashed out of the competition.
Skyy FC, buoyed by a bright start, rattled Medeama, who seemed off-balance throughout the match. Although the Daboase-based side seemed to score a second goal during a quick transition, the joy was short-lived due to an offside decision.
Medeama's hopes for a potential double have now been dashed as they exit the FA Cup competition.
