Berekum Chelsea

A late strike by Stephen Amankona prevented Berekum Chelsea from tasting their second defeat of the 2017/18 Ghana Premier League.

Chelsea, who were pipped 1-0 by Ebusua Dwarfs in the league opener last week, were gunning to pick their first maximum points in front of their boisterous home fans.

The Blues made incursions in the first half with some beautiful display but failed to create any meaningful opportunities.

Dreams FC took charge of the game midway through the first half and created some decent half chances but the back-line of the hosts stood resolute to the test.

The second stanza started with a bit of balance as both sides went in search of the initiative but it was Dreams FC who drew the first blood courtesy Samuel Pimpong's 55th minute strike.

The hosts went in search for the leveler as they attacked with pace and power but the visitors had other ideas by defending astonishingly.

With the game set to end in a win for the visitors, Chelsea dug deep as they found the equalizer through Stephen Amankona in the 90th minute to save his side's blushes.

The draw takes Dreams FC to 4th on the league standings with four points whereas Berekum Chelsea climb to 11th on the log.
