BECHEM, Ghana (Interstat) — Bechem United opened the Ghana Premier League season with a dominant 3-1 victory over Asante Kotoko on Sunday at Bechem Fosu Gyeabour Park.

Richard Dwamena struck first in the 18th minute, finishing with his right foot. Augustine Okrah then took over, scoring twice in quick succession: in the 21st minute and again in the 37th minute, both right-footed strikes. Okrah, a forward, led all scorers with two goals. Dwamena, a midfielder, added another. Dwamena’s opener came from a well-placed shot, and Okrah’s double showcased his finishing ability.

Asante Kotoko managed a goal later in the match but could not overturn the deficit. The loss dropped Kotoko to 0-1 overall and in league play. Bechem United improved to 1-0 in both categories. The victory marked a strong start for the home side, who capitalized on early chances and held firm defensively after building a three-goal lead. The match was played in warm conditions, and no further scoring occurred in the second half.
