Richmond Lamptey's first-half strike proved enough to give Inter Allies a hard-earned 1-0 win over Hearts of Oak in a Tema on Thursday.

The midfielder's 20th-minute effort kept the Kenichi Yatsuhashi's side flying high in third place in Zylofon Cash Premier League table. 

The goal came against the run of play. It was a wonder strike that the Phobians failed to recover from as their title aspirations suffered another setback. 

Coach Henry Wellington's side have dropped to 11th and remain 10 points adrift of top spot with one match remaining in the first round. 

Aduana Stars 1-0 Bechem United

In Elmina, Aduana Stars claimed the bragging rights in the Bono derby as they defeated Bechem United by a lone goal. 

Abu Sadick scored on 36 minutes to settle the feisty encounter. 

The result leaves Aduana still in the relegation zone. But they have four outstanding games. 

Bechem, on the other hand, are a place above the drop zone.
