After failing to beat Asante Kotoko in Week 1, WAFA went to Liberty Professionals and got a very impressive 3-1 win at the Karl Reindorf Park.
The match was Liberty new coach, Reginald Asante’s first in charge of the team but not even his presence could save them from a difficult afternoon.
Former Black Starlets players, Aminu Mohammed and Richard Danso got the first two goals of the match with Charles Boateng getting the third after he came on as a sub. Bright Andoh got the consolation for Liberty in injury time.
In Kumasi, Asante Kotoko went two games unbeaten in the season with a 1-0 win over Inter Allies. Obed Owusu found the net in the second half but the Reds needed Felix Annan several times to keep Allies from getting the equaliser.

Bechem United enjoyed a 2-0 home win over Medeama thanks to strikes from Seth Sowah and Emmanuel Owusu.
Berekum Chelsea needed Stephen Amankona to score with the kick of the match to get them a 1-1 home draw with Dreams FC.
