Ghana's representatives in the CAF Confederation Cup, Medeama progressed to the next phase of the competition, courtesy a brace by Abass Mohammed against Libya’s Al Ittihad at the Essipong Stadium on Sunday.
Medeama requiring a convincing win to surge following a lone goal defeat in the first leg a fortnight ago, countered on Mohammed's goals to win 2-0 to keep their campaign on track.
With the visitors winning at home in the first leg, Medeama needed to overturn the deficit and ensured that was the case with two goals in the first half in front of a packed stadium with the partisan crowd ecstatic.
The winners proved dominant at home, creating all sorts of problems for the visitors whose struggle to gain a hold on the match continually grew elusive except for a goal that was disallowed for offside by referee Senegalese referee Daouda Gueye.
The homers began business from the start and it was Emmanuel Yeboah who beautifully worked towards the first goal only to watch his final delivery bounced off the post.
With Mohammed arriving in the area at just the right time, the player did justice with a tap in from the rebound to ensure his side went ahead on 12 minutes
Two minutes before recess, the player hit the target again to consolidate his side’s lead at the interval.
Medeama pressed further in the second half but their efforts at increasing the tally were fruitless.
The win authenticates Medeama's as Ghana's sole representative in the continental club championship.
