Emmanuel Abban was the difference as Bechem United claimed a crucial 1-0 victory over Berekum Chelsea in Week 17 of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park.
Bechem United delivered a strong response after their recent heavy loss, showing grit and purpose in front of their home fans to secure all three points and move out of the relegation zone. The match was keenly contested from the start, with both teams fighting hard for control.
The breakthrough came in the 62nd minute when Abban calmly finished to reward Bechem’s attacking intent and determination. That goal proved enough to decide the contest, as the hosts defended solidly to protect their narrow lead.
The win continues Bechem United’s impressive home form, marking a third straight victory at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park and leaving them with just one home defeat this season.
The result pushes Berekum Chelsea into the relegation zone, swapping places with Bechem United on the league table. Bechem will aim to build on this momentum when they welcome Bibiani Gold Stars next, while Chelsea face a tough away assignment against Asante Kotoko in their upcoming fixture.
