Berekum Chelsea produced a scintillating second-half turnaround to defeat Legon Cities 3-1 at the Golden City Park and remain unbeaten in the Ghanaian top flight this season.
Boadu’s charges were on course for one of the upsets of the season when Emmanuel Sarpong opened the scoring in the 16th minute, but the Bibires eventually succumbed to incessant Cities pressure, as 19-year-old Kamal Suraje notched the equalizer after two minutes.
The Bibires went ahead to pepper the Royals goal with shot after shot, and so it paid off scoring the second and third goals in the 53rd and 81st minutes, respectively.
However, after withstanding early intense pressure from the Bibires, Cities began to weather the storm with ease, happily conceding possession to an B. Chelsea side who lacked ingenuity in the final third.
Mezack Afriyie and Stephen Amankonah was doing their bit to make things happen, but Legon Cities defence was unwavering as they got to the break with their 1-1 intact.
Things got even better for the Bibires when they returned from the break with a touch of ruthlessness, and got their second after 8 minutes of play in the second period, making Kwame Aziz powerless from thereon in goal.
A clinical finish, close-range latching - ensured that B. Chelsea would be celebrating their 3rd Premier League home win in the campaign, hitting that temporary landmark.
The Bibires have moved to the 4th position with 13 points, while Legon Cities remain flat in the 18th spot with just a point under their sleeves, leaving Paa Kwesi Fabin’s job clouded in further uncertainty.
