Young Apostles secure Ghana Premier League qualification
Young Apostles have secured qualification into the Ghana Premier League after beating Techiman Heroes via the lotteries of penalties after the game ended in a 1:1 draw at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Young Apostles scored in the 9th minute via a thunderbolt of a shot from outside the box to give the Wenchi-based team an early lead.
Mohammed Adama equalised for Techiman Heroes in the 36th minute after he pounced on a rebound and slid the ball coolly pass goalkeeper Benjamin Twum.
The second half turned out to be interesting and end-to-end, with both goalkeepers making brilliant saves to keep the game at 1:1 and send it into extra time and penalties.
Captain Sulemana Yahaya sent the hundreds of fans who had travelled from Wenchi into a frenzy when he expertly converted his penalty kick after Techiman Heroes missed their opportunity to score the 5th penalty.
The penalties ended 4:3 in favour of the “Agya Na Owor Tumi” boys who join Vision FC and Basake Holy Stars as new entrants into the Ghana Premier League.
