At the Accra Sports Stadium, Olympics were stunned 2-0 by now 14th-placed Legon Cities, who scored through Jonah Attuquaye and Nicholas Mensah. The Wonder Boys have 33 points to their name, one mark below new leaders Kotoko.
Karela, likewise, suffered a 2-0 away defeat to Inter Allies, who benefited from goals from Suleman Nafiu and Samuel Armah. The Anyinase-based side have fallen to third on the standings, while Allies, despite winning three points, still sit bottom of the log.
Medeama have registered their first win in three games by a 2-0 home triumph over Dreams FC. Burkinabe striker Amed Toure scored both goals against Still Belief, who saw Fahadu Suleman sent off in first-half injury time and missed a penalty on the stroke of full-time. Medeama are fifth on the table, one place above Dreams, who sit a spot and three points below.

Tough task for Odartey Lamptey … leads Elmina Sharks against Kotoko
March 5, 2021 Fabio Gama-Kotoko
Barely five days after battling rival Hearts of Oak to a nail-biting barren game, Asante Kotoko will this evening seek to garner maximum points as they engage Elmina Sharks in a dicey week-17 league tie at the Ndoum Park in Elmina.
Kick-off is at 6.pm.
It will be the first game for interim coach Nii Odartey Lamptey, who was appointed after Sharks parted ways with Yaw Acheampong and two other backroom staff. It is certainly a huge task for Lamptey in the dugout.
Indeed, Sharks are yet to pick a win in their last six games and would have to strive hard and get back to winning ways without the services of Benjamin Twebeboah and Benjamin Arthur.
