Berekum Chelsea breathed new life into their Ghana Premier League campaign on Sunday after grinding out a narrow 1-0 victory over Hohoe United at the Golden City Park.
Coming into the game under pressure following a run of poor results, Chelsea delivered a disciplined and committed performance to secure a much-needed three points. The result was especially notable given Hohoe United’s recent form, with the visitors arriving on the back of successive wins, including a statement victory over Asante Kotoko.
Form counted for little on the afternoon as Chelsea imposed themselves physically and tactically, closing down spaces and frustrating a Hohoe side that struggled to assert its usual attacking rhythm. The breakthrough finally arrived late in the contest when Prince Anane struck in the 78th minute, sparking celebrations among the home supporters and clear relief on the Chelsea bench.
While the victory does not immediately lift Chelsea out of the relegation zone, it offers renewed belief and a platform to build on as the season progresses. Samuel Boadu’s side will now turn their focus to a difficult away assignment against Dreams FC, aiming to convert this result into a run of consistency.
Hohoe United, meanwhile, will look to bounce back quickly when they host Bibiani Gold Stars in their next fixture as the league campaign continues to gather momentum.
