Player ratings

Kelvin Akinmola, 21, steals the show — 8.35

Marked 8.35 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad

Kelvin Akinmola in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Aduana Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Aduana Stars get the job done against Wa All Stars

A 2‑1 win over Wa All Stars, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The terraces

One of their own: Kelvin Akinmola

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Player ratings

One of those days for Stephen Amankona

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.33, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

Daniel Awuni falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Aduana Stars are still strangers to each other

5 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

Baba Gyan: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 2‑1, already talking about the next one.

The dugout

Alex Boakye does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Squad

8 saves: Gregory Sekyere was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings

Daniel Awuni, 20, steals the show — 8.17

Marked 8.17 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad

The step up is real for Godfred Boakye

At 23 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Words exchanged at Aduana Stars

Stephen Badu and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Daniel Awuni’s goal not enough for Aduana Stars

Daniel Awuni scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Ashanti Gold, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Daniel Awuni

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The dugout

No hiding place for Emmanuel Marfo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Emmanuel Marfo, and the manager let it.

Squad

A row about effort at Aduana Stars

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Daniel Awuni was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Baba Gyan answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

In brief
