Berekum Chelsea secures first away win with 2-0 victory over Heart of Lions

Berekum Chelsea recorded a significant milestone in their 2026/27 Ghana Premier League campaign by securing their first away victory of the season on Saturday. The "Biribes" traveled to the Kpando Stadium for a Week 7 encounter against Heart of Lions, emerging with a 2-0 win that showcased their tactical discipline and clinical finishing against a ball-dominant opponent.

The match narrative was defined by Berekum Chelsea's ability to capitalize on their opportunities despite seeing less of the ball throughout the contest. Dramani Awuah provided the crucial breakthrough in the 40th minute, firing the visitors into the lead and silencing the home crowd just before the halftime interval. The goal shifted the momentum, forcing the hosts to become more expansive in the second period.

Heart of Lions entered the second half with renewed vigor, maintaining a greater share of possession as they searched for an equalizer. However, the Berekum-based side remained compact and organized at the back, frustrating the hosts' attacking efforts. The victory was consolidated in the 70th minute when Paul Attah Agyei scored the second goal, effectively putting the match out of reach and ensuring all three points for the visitors.

This result provides a major boost for Berekum Chelsea’s ambitions this season, proving they can secure results in difficult away environments. For Heart of Lions, the defeat at home highlights a need for greater efficiency in the final third, as their control of the ball did not translate into scoring. The win moves Chelsea up the league standings as they look to build on this momentum in the coming weeks.
