Attram De Visser held off a late Semper Fi fightback to win 3-2 and hand the Zone Three leaders their first UMB Division One defeat of the season.
Ghana's UMB Division One League delivered a Zone Three shock on Saturday as Attram De Visser SC went to the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex and ended Semper Fi FC's unbeaten start with a 3-2 win.
The visitors flew out of the blocks. Obed Wiredu broke the deadlock in the 11th minute, and Abdul Majeed Maswud doubled the lead 11 minutes later. Attram De Visser went into the break in control, and Mubarik Iddrisu made it 3-0 in the 54th minute, nine minutes after the restart.
Semper Fi refused to fold. Maxwell Gadugah pulled one back four minutes later, and Ebenezer Kobia made it 3-2 in the 81st minute to set up a tense finish. The hosts pushed hard for an equaliser, but Attram De Visser stood firm and left with a statement away win.
Despite the loss, Semper Fi stay top of Zone Three on 16 points, though the first blemish on their record will sting.
Elsewhere, former Premier League side Okwawu United FC kept their strong run going with a 1-0 home win over Home Stars FC at Carl Reindorf Park on Sunday. The game stayed goalless until the 80th minute, when Quophy Nyame Barima struck the winner to lift Okwawu United to third in the table. Nukunu also picked up a Zone Three win over the weekend.
