Nations Football Club head coach, Kassim Mingle Ocansey, revealed that his club’s tempo in the second half was too much for Legon Cities and proved to be a major difference maker in his team’s win over Legon Cities.
Nations beat Legon Cities 4-1 in the Ghana Premier League at the University of Ghana Stadium to inch closer to winning the 2024-2025 league title.
The win over Legon Cities officially confirmed the team’s relegation from the Ghanaian top flight after five years competing in the division.

“When we came in the second half, we changed the phase of our game and they-Legon Cities- could not stand the tempo then we took advantage and scored our goals. When we changed [in the second half], we increased the tempo of the game, they couldn’t match it” Ocansey said.
