Inter Allies bounced back to winning ways with a hard fought 1-0 win over Bechem United at the El Wak Stadium on a sunny Wednesday afternoon.

Wahab Ackwei’s early goal in the second half was enough for the Capelli Boys to return to victory after defeat to AshantiGold last Sunday in Obuasi.

Kwame Baah returned to the line up to be in posts, Martin Antwi, Prince Boateng and Isaac Osae also started as changes made from the previous game.

Bechem United on the other hand lined up with their talisman Amed Toure missing from their set up, leaving Hafiz Wontah Konkoni and Haji Sadiq upfront.

The pace and tempo of the game commenced on a high note, Allies got the opening chance. Wahab Ackwei headed wide from Isaac Twum’s free kick in the 8th minute.

Just 10 minutes into the half, Allies were rewarded for their pressure. Prince Asempa failed to grab Prince Baffoe’s free kick and Wahab Ackwei pounced on the rebound.
