Match Report: Berekum Chelsea 2-1 Aduana Stars - Kofi Owusu's late winner seals victory for Blues over rivals

Attacker Kofi Owusu claimed the maximum points for Berekum Chelsea in the regional derby as they fought from behind to beat Aduana Stars 2-1 at the Golden City Park in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.

The former Okwahu United talisman left it late in the 82nd minute to score the winner for Chelsea after the visitors' early goal was cancelled out by Stephen Baffour.

Aduana ensured their persistent pressure on their host count as it fetched the opening goal  in the 13th minute through Francis Larbi.

But the Blues took advantage of a clear penalty award by referee Solomon Mortey to level the scoring through Stephen Asare Baffour before home fans in Berekum.

Aduana will have to perform scans on goalkeeper Stephen Adams who was forced off the pitch on the 27th minute after going down to a challenge and failing to recover to continue the game.

The Fire Club declared their intentions early into the game by piling pressure on their regional rivals. The Chelsea somehow managed to deal with their marauding pressure until the 13th minute.

Aduana full-back Seth Opare weighed in a cross from the right which Richard Arhin met with a first-time volley which ricocheted off the body of a defender. For a moment, the Chelsea defensive guard went to sleep and Larbi powered home from inside of the box.

The attacking midfielder ran straight to join Aduana bench to celebrate his goal. Chelsea tried to come into the game but Aduana's capture of the midfield made the game difficult for them.

But Aduana could not prevent them from levelling as Seth Opare conceded a penalty after pulling down a surging Chelsea attacker.

Referee Mortey appointed to the spot and Baffour stepped up and hammered the ball past goalkeeper Razak Mumuni who had replaced the injured Stephen Adams.
