Match Report: Bechem United climb to 2nd with narrow win over Accra Lions

Bechem United have climbed to second on the Ghana Premier League table following a narrow 1-0 win against Accra Lions on Sunday afternoon.

The team nicknamed the Hunters today hosted the side from Accra in a matchday 21 encounter of the ongoing 2021/22 Ghanaian top-flight league campaign.

In a game where both teams put up a very good performance, only one goal was scored.

The first half saw the home team dominating play and creating a number of goal-scoring opportunities.

In the second half, the resilience of Bechem United finally paid off in the 67th minute when Emmanuel Annor equalized with a fantastic effort.

From there on, the hosts managed time and cruised to a deserved 1-0 win to amass the crucial three points to leapfrog Aduana Stars on the standings of the Ghana Premier League.
