A second half brace from Abednego Tetteh helped Bibiani Goldstars to record their twelfth victory of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season against Tamale City on Sunday afternoon.
Bibiani Goldstars continued their battle for a top-four spot with a thrilling 2-0 home win over Tamale City in the Premier League match-week 31 clash at the Dun's Park in Bibiani.
The Miners commenced the game with an intense pressure on the Premier League new campaigners — who are battling for survival — but their efforts in the early minutes went futile.
Goalkeeper Cisse Tijani was the saviour for Tamale City in the first half with brilliant saves to deny Goldstars attacking trio Abednego Tetteh, Ibrahim Laar and Prince Owusu Kwabena from registering their names on the score sheet.
City's top-scorer Sampson Eduku came close on the 32nd minute to fetch the opener but his strike was fisted out by goalkeeper Joseph Baah.
No goal was produced by the two teams in the first department of the game despite the home side enjoying majority of the possession.
Bibiani Goldstars exercised their attacking muscles in the second to register two goals through Abednego Tetteh to secure the three maximum points.
Tetteh notched up the opener for the Miners lads from the spot after a penalty was awarded to his side when Emmanuel Appau was fouled in the 18-yard box.
Bibiani Goldstars continued their impressive performance to dominate the game as they were in search for more goals but the back line of Tamale United stood resolute.
Abednego Tetteh wrapped up their home win with a fine strike on the 80th minute to make it 2-0 for Bibiani Goldstars. He has now scored fourteen goals in the ongoing Ghana Premier League season.
Following the 2-0 win, Bibiani Goldstars have moved up to sixth position with 45 points while Tamale City sits a place above the relegation zone with 39 points after match-week 31.
