Week two of the Cal Bank Beach Soccer Premier League witnessed exciting fixtures as teams from the coasts engaged each other to thrill fans at the La Beach Soccer Arena in Accra.
The Volta-Havedzi Mighty Warriors came from two goals down to beat Senya Bereku Sharks 5-2 in a sensational encounter to go top of the league table. Senya Bereku Sharks made a terrific start when Paul Nyarko dribbled and slotted the opener beyond the Warriors keeper. Seconds later, Joseph Otchere doubled the Senya side's lead. Warriors who travelled from Keta earlier that morning gradually warmed themselves into the game and managed to pull a goal back when Kofi Aziz scored with a powerful shot before the first quarter break. In the second period Jerry Eglu equalised for Warriors before Benedict Kabu put the Warriors in front. Kofi Aziz then added two goals in the third period to complete his hat-trick.
In the other encounter, local outfit Layoca thrashed Osu Dolphins 6-0 to redeem themselves after a humiliating 8-3 loss on the opening day. Captain of the side, Nii Bonney Laaye led by example as he scored the first goal for his side following a neat build up. Albert Sowah then doubled Layoca's lead with a tap in after Dolphins keeper Komla Dodzi spilled a shot. The keeper was swiftly replaced after the second goal but the change did not save Dolphins from drowning as they conceded four more goals. Two from Farouk Lartey and a goal each from Joshua Adjei and Daniel Adjei settled the game. The victory took Layoca from the bottom of the table to fifth place.
Another thrilling fixture ended in favour of La based team Wuo Gbεε as they beat Tegbi Youth 4-3 with Wuo Gbεε striker Richard Osa scoring all four goals sending his goal tally to seven in two matches following his remarkable hatrick a week earlier.
Osa made his intentions known after he put his side in front after just two minutes of play in the first quarter. The Tegbi Youth coach then made a quick substitution which resulted in a goal for his side as substitute Emmanuel Kumasenu scored with a fierce long range shot.
The introduction of Kumasenu changed the tide of the game as Tegbi Youth applied more pressure and got the equaliser through Anthonio Micheal. Kumasenu then put Tegbi Youth in front from a penalty kick when a Wuo Gbεε defender handled the ball in the final third of the pitch.
The Voltarians looked set to run away with victory only for Richard Osa to rewrite the script. After his equaliser for Wuo Gbεε with the game heading for draw Osa contrived to score his fourth, a last minute winner from a free kick when he was brought down by Daniel Nyardror of Tegbi Youth. The breathless match finally ended 4-3.
