Player ratings

Nobody could get near Jeffrey Gyan

Successful dribbles: 38. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Abdul Atiemo leads the rout of Aduana Stars

3‑0, and Abdul Atiemo took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Wa All Stars tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings

Abdul Atiemo scores twice — 8.32

Two goals and a mark of 8.32 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Tauzy at 20 — 7.88

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Tauzy did not need any: 7.88, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Junaid Sait 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 Wa All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Joseph Mensah is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.26 with 13 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad

Adeyemo Bolaji 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Tauzy

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.

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Baba Asante for 14 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Wa All Stars will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

In brief
