Gaps and slips

Hearts of Oak extended their lead at the top to 11 points after a 0-1 victory over Heart of Lions at the Kpando Park. Samuel Affum scored on the 11th minute to hand the League a double over Lions who missed a lot of scoring chances.

Defending champions Asante Kotoko crashed to their sixth defeat of the season after a suffering a humiliating 2-1 loss to Gamba All Blacks. All three goals were registered from the spot but it was All Blacks which profited by the half hour mark.

Kessben FC romped to a 3-1 win over Tema Youth at the Anane Boateng Stadium in Abrankese.

Sekondi Hasaacas sealed a 2-1 home win over Bechem Chelsea at the Essipong Stadium.

AshantiGold did very little to their relegation battle as they failed to convert a penalty kick and drew goalless with Wa All Stars.

King Faisal also shared the spoils in a barren draw with Real Tamale United.

Berekum Arsenals were held to a goalless draw at the Golden City Park by Eleven Wise.

Positions, then...first six and then bottom three:

1. Hearts of Oak
2. King Faisal
3. Heart of Lions
4. Asante Kotoko
5. Bechem Chelsea
6. Eleven Wise
_
14. Real Tamale United
15. AshGold
16. Sporting Mirren

And that's the way the cookie crumbles. Laters!
