“It was a very good performance, 2-0 against your direct opponent, is a very good statement from the team. We still have four games to play.”

“We have to concentrate…we are playing again on Wednesday [against Berekum Chelsea]. We beat them [Gold Stars], we are happy but we have to concentrate on the next game” Tanko said.

Medeama Sporting Club, champions of the 2022–2023 season, now sit firmly in control of their destiny as the title race enters its final phase.
