Sazi Gumbi puts it in writing

Emmanuel Sarpong scores twice — 8.34
Two goals and a mark of 8.34 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Bakr El Helali 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.

Emmanuel Sarpong sends Berekum Chelsea past Wa All Stars
It finished 2‑0, and it was Emmanuel Sarpong’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Berekum Chelsea.
