Ten-man Medeama stun Legon Cities at El-Wak

Ten-man Medeama SC returned to winning ways after a 2-0 win against Legon Cities at the El-wak stadium Sunday.

The Tarkwa lads saw their title defence hit a jolt following a 3-1 loss to Accra Hearts of Oak in midweek. But coach Evans Adotey and his charges made a major statement to hand Legon Cities their first home loss of the season.

Medeama SC scored in either half to win the contest. The Mauve and yellows took a well deserved lead inside 44 minutes through Mamudu Kamaradin who headed home from a free kick.

His goal came 7 minutes after defender Godknows Dzakpasu was shown the exit after a second yellow card.

Medeama SC went into the break with the slim lead but needed to play the second half with 10 men.

The numerical disadvantage affected their pattern of play in the opening stages of the second half but that didn’t deter them from fighting on as Kofi Asmah scored the second goal in the 59th minute.

Legon Cities put in renewed energy in search of a comeback but Medeama SC hanged on to pick their second consecutive win against Legon Cities at the El-wak stadium.
