Dansoman based Liberty Professionals were on the verge of clinching their fourth consecutive victory of the ongoing league but Accra Great Olympics stopped them in their brakes beating them by 2-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium.



With that disappointment fresh in memory, they come up against title ambitious side, Medeama SC at their newly adopted home, Sogakope Red Bull Arena for the remainder of the league. 

As things stand, Liberty lie a position above the relegation drop zone with 24 points, a position they will be looking to change by the end of match proceedings over the weekend. 

The Mauve and Yellow side are on a mission in the league, and it’s no doubt that, after their shocking victory over record holders of the league, Kotoko, lots of pundits have pointed fingers at them as favorites for the league. 

They haven’t disappointed so far, the acquisitions of Prince Opoku Agyemang, Ahmed Toure have combined armory to score 11 goals out of 12 games they have featured ably backed by the impressive Zakaria Mumuni, Eric Kwakwa, Rashid Nortey, Ibrahim Yaro, and others. 

Medeama have since picked 12 points playing away from home boasting their points tally to 39 points aiding them to the summit of the table. 

In the last five years, both sides have had to settle for two wins each, drawing five out of nine games. 

Both teams are in search of the maximum points for varied reasons, it remains to be seen who come out tops will should any take his chances created on the day. 

Prediction: Liberty Professionals 1-1 Medeama SC

We will fight to stay afloat – Evans Owusu https://www.saharafootball.net/will-fight-stay-afloat-evans-owusu/ https://www.saharafootball.net/will-fight-stay-afloat-evans-owusu/#comments Mon, 19 Apr 2021 13:07:49 +0000 http://www.saharafootball.net/?p=29090 We will fight to stay afloat – Evans Owusu

Liberty Professionals was the only away side that defied odds to post a narrow victory over Eleven Wonders at the Obuasi Ley Clay Stadium, their second win of the second round thus far in the league.



The recent appointment of Silas Tetteh seems to have breathed a new lease of life into the Dansoman based club, and it’s no doubt that, the lads have quickly adapted to the experienced trainer’s tactics.

This newfound form has definitely sunk into the boys and according to Evans Owusu, who recently switched camps from Kotoko expressed happiness with the way things are slowly folding for his new side.

“We will thank God for the important victory today, currently the level of seriousness and motivation is beyond measure”.

“It’s sad that we have moved away from Carl Reindorff but our new venue (Sogakope Red Bull Arena) is a wonderful pitch to play on, hopefully, the results will start coming, this is our second win from three matches so far in the second round”.

When queried on his performance since moving from Kotoko to his new side, Liberty, he remarked “The shift from Kotoko to Liberty hasn’t been easy but I am happy to have settled in quickly, together with my new teammates, we’ll fight to stay afloat in the league”.  he told Saharafootball.Net

Evans Owusu has been an integral figure for Liberty featuring in five games so far.

Ghana FA revokes three GPL clubs licenses https://www.saharafootball.net/ghana-fa-revokes-three-gpl-clubs-licenses/ https://www.saharafootball.net/ghana-fa-revokes-three-gpl-clubs-licenses/#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2021 15:47:16 +0000 http://www.saharafootball.net/?p=28850 Ghana FA revokes three GPL clubs licenses

The Club Licensing Board of the Ghana Football Association, have revoked the licenses of three Ghana Premier League clubs in the country.



This decision was borne out of an inspection conducted by club licensing board on various league clubs in the country.

The affected clubs are Liberty Professionals, Berekum Chelsea, and Elmina Sharks, who use the Carl Reindorf Park, Golden City park, and Ndoum Sports Stadium respectively for their home duels.

The aforementioned clubs will have to resort to other venues they deem appropriate for the upcoming home fixtures in the ongoing league.

However, three clubs namely Dreams FC, Eleven Wonders, King Faisal, and Bechem United would have to heed to the recommendations of the board before the resumption of the second round or face further sanctions.

GPL Match Preview and Prediction: Liberty Prof vs Inter Allies https://www.saharafootball.net/gpl-match-preview-prediction-liberty-prof-vs-inter-allies/ https://www.saharafootball.net/gpl-match-preview-prediction-liberty-prof-vs-inter-allies/#comments Sat, 13 Feb 2021 07:30:27 +0000 http://www.saharafootball.net/?p=28648 GPL Match Preview and Prediction: Liberty Prof vs Inter Allies

Who would have thought that on the back of losing four matches on a trot, Liberty Professionals would pick up all three maximum points away to Ashgold at the Obuasi Ley Clay Stadium, well that was their success story in week thirteen of the ongoing Ghana Premier League.



This weekend, they have all opportunity available at their disposal to deepen the woes of struggling opposition, Inter Allies when the pair clashed at Carl Reindhorf Park on Sunday.

Inter Allies have struggled and struggled badly in the ongoing league, their Technical Director, Willie Klutse opined that, the reasons for their failure to do well in the league is attributed to the fact that most of their current crop of players were promoted from the youth setup to the first team.

One thing, I can attribute to the club’s poor performance was the departures of Victorien Adebayor, Samuel Armah(back at the club), Henrikh Lehm, Tonny Lokko as well as other departures that hugely impacted the chances of the club.

Both sides have played twelve (12) times the away side the dominant of the two, winning six (6) games, home winning five (5), and the other ending in a stalemate.

Prediction: Liberty Professionals 2-0 Inter Allies

It’s match week 13 of the league, and Inter Allies would be at home to Ebusua Dwarfs, who are not new to the Accra Sports Stadium terrain having played Legon Cities earlier in the season.

The Crabs spearheaded by the energetic Ernest Thompson Quartey are beaming with confidence after posting a 2-1 victory over title hopeful, Ashgold at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium aiding them to 12th on the log with 16 points.

According to the talented Julius Akoto, he envisages that his side would deepen the woes of the Capelli boys winless in five games in the current campaign.

“We are fired up for this clash, our last match we picked the 3 points against Legon Cities here and we want to do so against Inter Allies, you can see they are struggling but it’s all part of the game.

“Coach and the technical team have explained what they expect from us, hopefully, everything goes according to plan,” he told Saharafootball.net

The pair will test the prowess of each other with 3 points up for grabs.

I’m still a free-agent – Evans Owusu dispels Liberty move https://www.saharafootball.net/im-still-free-agent-evans-owusu-dispels-liberty-move/ https://www.saharafootball.net/im-still-free-agent-evans-owusu-dispels-liberty-move/#comments Sat, 06 Feb 2021 07:59:49 +0000 http://www.saharafootball.net/?p=28545 I’m still a free-agent – Evans Owusu dispels Liberty move

Former Kumasi Asante Kotoko fullback, Evans Owusu has strongly dispelled circling rumors in the local media landscape that, he is on the verge of joining Ghana Premier League club Liberty Professionals ahead of the second transfer window.



Evans Owusu was one of several players shown the exit door in a massive overhaul under then club manager, Maxwell Konadu, who has since been shown the exit door some months back.

In an interview with Saharafootball.net, he opined that he hasn’t moved to any of the clubs as speculated in the local media.

“I haven’t made any move as of now, my representatives are still sorting out one or two things, if anything happens we will make it official”

” Everything, you hear in the media is pure rumors it’s not true, I am still a free agent”

The now free agent was unable to secure a move to any of the local clubs for the first half of the season but with the second transfer window scheduled to open on February 16, 2021, with clubs gearing up to augment their squad for the second half of the season, it looks likely he might secure a move to any club that might aid his development.

Liberty Professionals are on a really bad patch in the ongoing Ghana Premier League, their home and away performances have been a pale short of excellent.



It’s getting scarier as the weeks roll by, considering the conditions in the current campaign needing strong, able men that will be able to turn the tides around when it matters the most.

The home side have lost four on a bounce, it started with a 2-0 loss to Kotoko, Dreams FC, Ebusua Dwarfs, and most recently a 5-0 heavy thrashing at the hands of WAFA at the Sogakope Red Bull Arena.

Aduana Stars will be cursing their stars after failing to continue their winning streak over Kotoko against Ebusua Dwarfs drawing 2-2 at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park.

The Ogya boys will look to inflict more pain on Liberty at Carl Reindolf but that won’t come easy considering they have lost four out of nine games against the home side, winning only two and the others ending in draws.

David Ocloo and his boys will need to remedy their 16th spot after amassing 10 points from 11 games whiles have lept up to 5th position with 17 points after a slow start to the season.

“We did what we were told to do by our coaches and it yielded good results. We were very prepared for the victory today and by God’s grace, we won.
