Cape Coast Mysterious Ebusua Dwarfs began their X1 Energy Drink Division One League Super Cup campaign in emphatic fashion by beating former Premier League side Real Tamale United 4-1 at the Len Clay Stadium in Obuasi.
The victory puts Ebusua Dwarfs at the top of Group A after the second fixture of the fifth edition of the competition. They controlled the match for long periods and secured all three points with a commanding display.
Captain Nathaniel Appiah gave the Cape Coast side the lead before Sylvester Doku added a second goal to put Ebusua Dwarfs firmly in control at 2-0.
Real Tamale United briefly raised hopes of a comeback when Ibrahim Mohammed Bashiru pulled a goal back. The response, however, failed to shift the balance of the contest.
Ebusua Dwarfs quickly restored their two-goal advantage through Osei Kelvin Bright, who made it 3-1. Emmanuel Osei then completed the scoring to seal a convincing win for his side.
Appiah was named Man of the Match after combining his leadership at the back with the opening goal. His contribution helped Ebusua Dwarfs establish a strong platform at the start of their Group A campaign.
Real Tamale United must now regroup for their remaining fixtures after suffering a heavy opening defeat. Ebusua Dwarfs, meanwhile, have made an authoritative start to the competition.
