RTU never won any match away. AshGold v Bibiani Gold Stars was fixed. Wonders v Aduana was fixed.

FA doesn\u2019t know about it. How do you think Hearts of Oak will lose by 4 goals. Did you watch them yesterday? We shouldn\u2019t be hypocrites or we won\u2019t progress. I\u2019m a Hearts fan, I\u2019m telling you,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the said matches, King Faisal recorded a 2-1 win over Legon Cities and RTU won 4-1 against Hearts of Oak in Accra, meaning both Faisal and RTU escaped relegation. But, Eleven Wonders\u2019 2-1 home win could not guarantee their survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Gold Stars and AshGold played out a 2-2 drawn game but both clubs were not battling relegation. But, AshGold winger Yaw Annor secured 2 goals in the said game that helped him win the GPL Goal-King with 22 goals, one better than Kotoko striker Franck Mbella Etouga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elmina Sharks, WAFA, and Eleven Wonders were caught in the relegation web after 34 match days and are expected to be demoted to the Division One League, pending the outcome of AshGold\u2019s appeal against their demotion to the Division Two League over match manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion\/advertisement?
