Reigning Ghanaian champions Medeama SC beat Guinea giants Horoya 3-1 at the Cape Coast to take a giant step in their quest to qualify for the group stage of the 2023/2024 CAF Champions League.
The tone for the impressive victory was set by a ball boy, who played a huge role in Medeama's first goal of the game.
With 50 minutes gone, the Tarkwa-based team was still without a goal as 10-man Horoya remained resolute.
The ball boy came to the rescue, providing a pre-assist through a quick ball recovery, which caught Horoya's defense off guard as Nana Kofi Babil finished off the move with a brilliant finish.
The goal inspired the home team, who went on to score two goals in three minutes.
Despite being a man down, Horoya managed to reduce the deficit in the die embers through Mohammed Fofana as the game ended 3-1.
Medeama hope to secure a favourable result in the second leg to progress to the group stage, becoming the first Ghanaian club to do so since Berekum Chelsea in 2012.
Ghana’s leading digital news platform, GhanaWeb, in conjunction with the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, is embarking on an aggressive campaign which is geared towards ensuring that parliament passes comprehensive legislation to guide organ harvesting, organ donation, and organ transplantation in the country.
