ALL STARS STOP CHELSEA (BACK PAGE, JAN 20, 2011)

Wa All Stars ysterday pulled the brakes on league leaders, Berekum Chelsea, by beating them 2-0 in their premier league match played at the Wa Stadium.
Perhaps the presence of the bankroller of Wa All Stars, Mr Kwesi Nyantakyi, did the trick as the homesters who have not fared very well at home in their last two games against Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Medeama S/C played as if they were possessed and took charge of all departments of the game.
After a drab first half, All Stars came in strongly in the second half and managed to break the deadlock in the 50th minute through Godfred Kwame Gyasi.The goal boosted the confidence of All Stars who kept the goal area of the visitors boiling until the 70th minute when their new striker, Sam Ocran, who looked more of a music artiste than a footballer, connected a powerful shot from the foot of Edwin Gyimah, resulting in spontaneous cheers from the estatic home fans.
After the second goal, the game became a ding-dong affair, with both sides missing a couple of chances until Kumasi-based referee, Lord Mansfield Vuvor, brought proceedings to an end amidst a standing ovation for the All Stars players.
