Bolga All Stars claimed top spot of Zone One after match day one of the GN Bank Division One league after smoothly defeating Tamale Utrecht 2-0 at the Bolgatanga sports stadium on Sunday afternoon.

A brace from top striker Noah Neequaye in each half of the game sealed the victory for the Stars of the East on the opening day of Ghana’s second domestic  flagship club competition.

Bolga All Stars dominated play from start to finish.

And their persistent dominance paid dividends on the 44th minute through Noah Neequaye who volleyed home after a super defence-splitting ball  by Prosper Ayine sent him through on goal, and he broke the virginity of the game.

The late first half strike was the only goal separating the two teams at the end of the first half.

Bolga All Stars continued from where they left off before recess and bossed the game in the second half of the match and could have added a second in the 56th minute, but Issaku Yahaya came second best to the Tamale Utrecht goalie after a one-on-one encounter.

At the other at the end of the pitch, Tamale Utrecht almost drew level on the 62nd minute but the timely clearance by Latif Abubakari, who eventually became the best player on the day after the final whistle, kept the score at 1-0.

Bolga All Stars lost it inspirational skipper Yussif Gomah to injury in the 72nd minute but that didn’t destabilised them as Noah Neequaye waltzed his way through the visitors defense and expertly volleyed home a good strike for the second goal, and his personal brace in the dying embers of the game, sending the Stars of the East to the summit of the league log after the first league games in Zone One.

Bolga All Stars next game in the division one league is an away tie against regional rivals Bawku United at the Bawku sports stadium on Sunday.
