Stephen Amankona delivered a standout performance, scoring a hat-trick to lead Berekum Chelsea to a 3-1 victory over struggling Accra Lions at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park in Dormaa as the Ghana Premier League resumed.
Chelsea took the lead after a sluggish start, capitalizing on a defensive error that allowed the experienced Amankona to break the deadlock.
Six minutes into the second half, the forward doubled his tally from the penalty spot, converting in the 50th minute to strengthen Chelsea’s grip on the game. He completed his hat-trick in the 71st minute, sealing a dominant second-half display for the Blues.
Accra Lions managed a late consolation through Nigerian forward David Akintunde, who finished off a move involving compatriot Lucky Nwafor.
However, it was too little too late for Rainer Kraft’s side, whose struggles in the 2024/25 campaign continue.
