Medeama SC head coach Ibrahim Tanko credited halftime adjustments for his side’s 2-1 comeback victory against Berekum Chelsea in their Matchday 13 clash at TNA Park.

Match Flow


  • The champions dominated the opening exchanges, winning duels and creating chances but failed to convert.

  • A defensive lapse allowed Chelsea to take the lead, leaving Medeama trailing at halftime.

  • Tanko revealed that a halftime team talk and two substitutions reinvigorated his players, sparking a turnaround.
Tanko’s Reflection

“We controlled the game in the first half. We won many duels and second balls, created chances, but unfortunately, we could not score. The goal against us was also a result of our mistake.
But in the second half, we spoke to the players and made two changes. I think the team responded well to the changes we made and we deservedly got the goals.”

League Implications


  • Medeama’s victory extends their strong start to their title defence, pushing them two points clear at the summit with 26 points.

  • The champions now prepare for a Matchday 14 trip to Bibiani GoldStars at DUN’s Park, a fixture that promises another stern test.

Tanko’s ability to adapt mid-game highlights Medeama’s resilience and tactical maturity, reinforcing their credentials as favourites in the ongoing campaign.
