The Porcupine Warriors failed to score in midweek against Bechem United dig deep to get back to winning ways at their favourite grounds in Kumasi - and indeed did not disappoint as they scored twice within 3 minutes through Cameroonian Mfegue Omgba.
Mfegue broke the deadlock in the 31st minute when he tapped the ball into the net after Gold Stars goalkeeper Ernest Kusi fluffed a cross before lifting a lovely ball over the goalkeeper after being teed up by Mbella Etouga for the second goal.
The Porcupine Warriors went into the break with a 2-0 advantage – much to the delight of the roaring fans at the Baba Yara Stadium.
