Accra, Jan. 7, - Accra Hearts of
Oak and Ghana Premier League (GPL) champions Aduana Stars have begun their G-8
campaign with wins in Cape Coast and Kumasi respectively.
Isaac Mensah's lone goal in the
28th minute ensured Hearts of Oak won the day over Karela FC in the opening game
of the G-8 tournament at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium with Aduana Stars also
ending the day in Kumasi with a hard fought 1-0 victory over Dreams FC,
courtesy an Fatawu Abdul's goal.
The Hearts of Oak Karela FC game
saw both clubs exhibiting some impressive exchange of passes, but both clubs
couldnt make it count from the few chances created, with the phobians enjoying
a slight advantage over the newly promoted side.
Coach Yusif Abubakar of Aduana
Stars in a post-match said he anticipated a tough game against Dreams FC,
saying "I was expecting that kind of tough test I got because the fitness
level of teams after preseason is always high".
Coach Abubakar said, he hopes his
boys would deliver the trophy with the kind of display his team put up.
“Dreams FC had a nice blend of
Premier League debutants and experienced players such as Eric Gawu and Alfred
Arthur, whom I have worked with at Heart of Lions. Playing against them was a
good challenge and its a positive challenge.
The tournament, which is being
used as preparatory games for the upcoming Ghana premier league and a rehearsal
for Ghanas Confederation of African Football (CAF) competitions representatives
have been divided into Groups A and B, with Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Aduana Stars,
Eleven Wonders and Dreams FC making up Group A in Kumasi and Accra Hearts of
Oak, Karela FC, Medeama SC and Ebusua Dwarfs completing Group B in Cape Coast.
