The biggest news of match-day-28 is not the possible change in guard at the summit of the standings but Kessben FC’s smashing of Berekum Arsenals’ five-year unbeaten home run.
Kessben improved their chances of staying in the elite league after their massive victory at the Golden City Park where they broke down the Gunners’ fortress with a 2-1 win.
A brace by Lanquaye Addo was enough to help the Kumasi-based side break the invincibility surrounding the Gunners at home.
Hearts of Oak brought further pressure to bare on their title aspirations after drawing 1-1 with Chelsea at the Ohene Djan Stadium on Wednesday, a result which could see the Phobians surrender the top spot to rivals, Kotoko who play Hasaacas Thursday in Kumasi.
After a goalless first half, Eric Nyarko put the Phoabians ahead when he angled a shot from inside the box into the far post as the hosts looked like ending their winless run in recent times but Abdul Basit’s solo effort ensured that the Berekum side left Accra with a point.
Hearts are still winless with their last victory coming in May when they beat Tema Youth at home on match-day-20.
The situation also increases the pressure on management and coach Nii Noi Thompson, who is yet to guide the Phobians to victory since taking over from Kosta Papic.
Despite the draw, Hearts remain three points above Kotoko but a win for the Reds would see them take-over at the top.
The game between the Reds and Hasaacas at the Baba Yara Stadium was postponed due to the heavy downpour in Kumasi.
Heart of Lions moved second for now and two points within the leaders, Hearts, after beating Gamba All Blacks 2-1 at the Kpando Park.
Bismark Idan's goal was not enough as Felix Dauda and Edmund Owusu-Ansah found target for the home side.
The Black Magicians, lying just a place above the bottom-placed team have a tall order in their attempt to escape relegation.
All Stars recorded their biggest scoreline during this second round, winning 3-0 to dent the already battered pride of Sporting Mirren who have been condemned to relegation.
King Faisal’s quest for the title and a Champions League spot suffered a setback at the Sekondi Sports Stadium where they lost 3-2 to home side, Eleven Wise.
The win lifts the premiership returnees to 8th on the standings though they are not immune from the drop with two games to go.
Liberty Professionals earned a point off Real Tamale United at the Tamale Sports Stadium after their 1-1 draw. Latif Salifu put Liberty in the lead but Kabiru Imoro was on hand to equalize for the home team. The Dansoman side is still closer to the bottom three.
AshantiGold’s battle to avoid the drop continued at the Tema Park where they managed to snatch a point in their 1-1 draw with Tema Youth.
The midweek results yet still leaves everyone on the edge as the destination of the league title and the two other teams that joins Mirren to the second tier of Ghana's league structure still remains unknown with two matches left to play.
