Good-old Francis Aggrey hit the back of the net twice in the second half, once through a spot kick, to secure a 2-1 victory for Berekum Arsenal over visiting Ashantigold in their Glo Premier League encounter at the Golden City Park in Kumasi yesterday.
Even with their numerical strength reduced to 10 men after Accra-based Class 1 referee, Sellas Okine, red-carded Ashantigold midfielder Alhaji Sanni for a second bookable offence, the Obuasi side shot into the lead in the 51st minute through Eugene Owusu Prempeh who headed home a beautiful cross by winger Addoquaye Addo.
Arsenal quickly reorganised themselves and cancelled the lead six minutes later through Aggrey whose header from a cross by half-back Salu Yakubu beat Ashantigold Fatau Dauda for a deserved equaliser.
Strongman Yakubu was the same architect of Arsenal’s match winner after he moved dangerously into the visitors’ penalty box but was brought down by an Ashantigold defender for which referee Okine awarded a penalty in the 81st minute. Aggrey expertly converted it to score a brace and earn his side victory.
