Story: George Folley, Wa
The Upper West Regional capital yesterday went gay when local side Wa All Stars beat visiting Accra Hearts of Oak by a lone goal in their Onetouch Premier League match played at the Wa Sports Stadium.
The only goal of the match was scored in the 72nd minute by Daniel Bonfah.
Playing before a massive crowd that travelled from all over the region, All Stars kicked off under the instructions of referee T.K. Aggrey from Tarkwa and briefly pinned Hearts to their own half but wasted all the chances that came their way.
In the 23rd minute, Kobina Dodzie playing for All Stars had a golden opportunity to put his side ahead but wasted it, much to the chagrin of the supporters.
Hearts accepted the challenge and Bernard Dong Bortey almost scored with a powerful shot which was saved by goalkeeper Robert Adabuo of All Stars.
Back from recess, Coach Emmanuel Quarshie pulled out Bright Kukubor for Mohammed Hamidan, while Hearts brought Kweku Essien on for Stephen Affum.
The change appeared to have benefited the homesters as Hamidan brought more bite upfront for the homesters. In the 72nd minute hard-running All Stars winger, Issa Salihu, picked a loose ball, outpaced his marker and sent in a cross that Bonfah made no mistake in slotting home.
Hearts protested, claiming that the ball was handled by an All Stars player before the goal was scored.
