Liberty Professionals lost 2-3 to Inter Allies at home on Thursday.
The Scientific Soccer Lads suffered their second Accra Derby defeat at home grounds to a determined Eleven-is-to- One side.
Allies scored first in the opening minutes of the match when striker Samuel Armah followed his instinct in the box to break the deadlock with a fine header.
Victorien Adebayor made it two for the visitors few minutes later after he finished off a brilliant team play to make it 2-0 to the “best travelers” in the Ghana league.
George Ansong pulled one back for the host before the break to hand the home fans some sort of believe going into the interval.
Two minutes after the hour mark, Ansong drew Liberty Professionals level with a beautiful header after some nice exchanges at the right side of the host’s attack to make it 2-2.
