Bechem United defeats Debibi United 3-0 to reach top half

Bechem United delivered a dominant performance on Matchday 8 of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League season, securing a convincing 3-0 victory over newly-promoted Debibi United. The win at home was a significant boost for the Hunters, as it propelled them into the top half of the league standings. The match highlighted the gap in experience between the established Bechem side and their struggling visitors, who have found life difficult in the top flight since their promotion.

The breakthrough for the hosts came in the 36th minute when Isaiah Nyarko found the back of the net to break the deadlock. Nyarko's clinical finish set the tone for the remainder of the afternoon, putting immediate pressure on a Debibi United defence that had been holding firm until that point. Following the opener, Bechem United maintained control of the midfield, restricting the visitors' ability to create any meaningful counter-attacks or sustain pressure on the home goal.

Kelvin Appiah became the star of the second half, doubling the lead and then adding a third to ensure there was no way back for the newcomers. Appiah’s brace represented his first two goals of the season, a timely contribution that provided the breathing room Bechem required to see out the game comfortably. His composure in front of goal was a highlight for the home supporters and suggests a return to form for the striker as the campaign progresses.

With this result, Bechem United now sits in the top half of the table with 13 points, positioning themselves well for a mid-season push toward the top four. Conversely, the heavy defeat leaves Debibi United in a precarious position near the bottom of the table. Currently ranked 16th, the newly-promoted side has managed only one victory in their last five outings and will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities to avoid being drawn further into a relegation battle.
