HASMAL SINK ALL BLACKS (BACK PAGE)

Giants of the West, Sekondi Hasaacas, yesterday humbled visiting All Blacks with a 3-1 victory in their Premier League encounter at the Sekondi Sports Stadium.
Two goals by striker Charles Nettey (65th and 80th minutes) and Akowah Mensah (76th minute) sealed victory for Hasaacas.
All Blacks scored a consolation on the 85th minute through Aaron Baah.
Two goals by Daniel Bomfah (27th minute) and Amin Fuseini (64th minute) enabled Wa All Stars to beat visiting Sekondi Eleven Wise 2-0 at Wa Stadium, reports Chris Nunoo.
In Sunyani Samuel Duodu reports that controversial decisions and the inability of Tamale-based Class One Referee, Mohammed Awal, and his two assistants Mumuni Issaka and Eric Owusu Mensah, both Class One referees based in Tamale and Kumasi respectively, nearly marred the Glo premiership encounter between Bechem Chelsea and Kpando-based Heart of Lions.
The match ended in a goalless draw and was played at the Sunyani Coronation Park.
It all began when referee Awal on the 13th minute of the first half failed to whistle for a clear penalty for the visitors when a Chelsea defender handled the ball in the vital area of his team.
The failure of referee Awal to stamp his authority caused the game to degenerate into rough play which eventually compelled the referee to show Heart of Lions’ Evans Kwao the exit on the 18th minute.
However, Chelsea who failed to impress in the game, could not take advantage of their numerical strength.
