Match

Cup progress for Wa All Stars

A 3‑1 win over Great Olympics, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Player ratings

Harrison Appiah scores twice — 9.66

Two goals and a mark of 9.66 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Real improvement from Abraham Baba at Wa All Stars

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Abraham Baba is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Álvaro Brun was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

A late step up for Kamaldeen Atiemo

At 24 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Squad

Words at Wa All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. José Cantillana is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The terraces

Wa All Stars supporters have found a favourite in Harrison Appiah

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 17-year-old it feels ownership of. Harrison Appiah has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings

Kamaldeen Ofori was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.74. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Match

Great Olympics blown away early

There is a particular helplessness in conceding 2 times before the twentieth minute. Great Olympics tried to reorganise, Wa All Stars did not allow it, and the result was written long before it was confirmed.

Squad

Real improvement from Thomas Kwabena Osae at Wa All Stars

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Thomas Kwabena Osae is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Abraham Atiemo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Kamaldeen Atiemo

At 23 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.

Squad

Abraham Baba gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Wa All Stars find a way past Hasaacas

Hasaacas made Wa All Stars work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Nana Ofori

Marked 8.26 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

Words at Wa All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andrew Partey is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Loan watch

Francis Essien has seen enough of Djoliba

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Wa All Stars, and 0 appearances in 6 say he has earned the hearing.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Yussif Moro Owusu

Defensive actions: 16. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.
