Semper Fi endured a narrow 2-1 defeat against Port City in a top-of-the-table clash in the Access Bank Division One Zone III League, a result that saw them surrender first place despite a spirited performance.
The opening half was keenly contested, with Semper Fi matching their hosts in intensity and organisation, and the teams went into the break level. Port City took the lead in the 62nd minute through Korbla Junior Kedzie, but Semper Fi showed their character almost immediately. Just four minutes later, Kelvin Takyi Awuku restored parity with a composed finish, keeping alive hopes of extending their impressive run.
Momentum appeared to swing in Semper Fi’s favour, but Port City capitalised on a moment of quality in the 74th minute when Kedzie struck again to decide the contest.
The defeat brings an end to Semper Fi’s seven-match winning streak, yet their performance reinforced why they had led the table going into the fixture. Attention now turns to their next assignment against Attram De Visser Academy, where Semper Fi will aim to respond positively and reignite their push at the top of the standings.
