Chelsea created a couple of decent chances but could not break the deadlock.

Gold Stars came close a few times in the first half but both clubs kept their discipline to go into the break with the game goalless.

After the break, the host took control of the game, and should have taken the lead earlier.

Eight minutes into the second half, Kingsford Boadu broke the deadlock with a fine strike to secure all three points for the newcomesrs.

Berekum Chelsea chased an equalizer but Bibiani made two important changes as they subdued their opponents.

The Miners were the only newcomers to win their opening game of the new season, with Accra Lions and RTU all held at home.
