Abraham Addo 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.

Chastening afternoon for Hasaacas
A 1‑5 beating by Berekum Chelsea was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Joseph Essien is in the form of his life
A season average of 7.65 with 22 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Nobody could get near Edmund Owusu
Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Nobody could stop scoring
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Hasaacas and Berekum Chelsea in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

The pass was always on for Joseph Essien
Chances created: 6. Somebody has to open a door before anybody can walk through it, and he spent the afternoon opening doors.
