Striker, Shaibu Yakubu opened the scoring for AshantiGold from a spot kick early in the second half before his strike partner, Alex Asamoah doubled their lead with a minute to go in injury time.

In the Confederation Cup, Tema Youth failed to travel to Cameroon to play their first match in the Confederations Cup against Astres de Douala.

The club who would have been playing their debut continental game after drawing a bye to play in the second round qualifiers say their travel plans were botched at the last minute.

Cameroon Football Federation officials say Tema Youth had been expected on Thursday but they then missed their scheduled training on Saturday and the official pre-match meeting on Saturday night.

Africa’s soccer governing body, CAF would be handing in a ruling on this matter.
