Goaaaaal.
Elmina Sharks take the lead against Berekum Chelsea at the Paa Kwasi Nduom Park. That is what we call an early shower. Bernard Boateng with a well-taken goal to shoot the home side into the lead.
Can the league leaders respond?

Ten minutes played across the match venue. Still just the one goal scored by Elmina Sharks.
Promising stuff though as Kotoko seek to see off Dreams FC. Hearts of Oak yet to settle in Dormaa against a formidable Aduana Stars side.

We get into the second half of the matches now. Still open for any team to win any of the games. It all comes down to who wants it more.
Three minutes into the second half and just like the first half it is Elmina Sharks who score first. Bernard Boateng scores to restore the lead for the home team.
Make that a hat-trick for Bernard Boateng. The forward makes good use of a good chance to score an insurance goal for Elmina Sharks. Looks like there will be no way back for Chelsea now.
Elsewhere at the Theatre of Dreams, Kotoko is leading Dreams FC by a goal to nil.
