Marked for Afriyie Baba

Player ratings

Harrison Owusu scores twice — 8.19

Two goals and a mark of 8.19 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Tempers go at BA All Stars

Afriyie Annan 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.

Player ratings

The game went through Isaac Boakye — 6.96

Marked 6.96 on 14 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Match

BA All Stars see off Ashanti Gold

Three points for BA All Stars, 3‑1 the final word against Ashanti Gold in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Loan watch

Kamaldeen Ofori counts the days

“I watch every BA All Stars game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at New Edubiase United runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Abdul Amoah at his very best

Marked 8.24. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at BA All Stars.

Squad

Afriyie Baba has improved at 25, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Player ratings

Amos Afful runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Talks stall between BA All Stars and Yaw Inusah

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

In brief

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Ernest Gyan damages knee ligaments — 35 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 35 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

BA All Stars taken apart

1‑4 to Hasaacas, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Market

Albert Amoah asks to leave BA All Stars

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

A chastening introduction for Harrison Nuhu — 5.73

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.73 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Squad

Tempers go at BA All Stars

Afriyie Annan 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.

Boardroom

Graduation day at BA All Stars

3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market

One of our own: Kwadwo Atiemo joins the BA All Stars first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Kwadwo Atiemo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Isaac Baba steps up from the BA All Stars academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Isaac Baba has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Albert Owusu steps up from the BA All Stars academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Albert Owusu has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
