Week 2 of the Ghana Premier League commenced on Friday with Medeama breaking Vision FC into pieces at the TNA Park in Tarkwa. The Mauve and Yellow won 4-0

Emmanuel Owusu’s goal with five minutes to go in the 90 made it 3-0. Abdulai Nuruudeen rounded off the evening for the Mauve and Yellow with the fourth goal.
