Young Apostles had their unbeaten run halted on Sunday at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium as they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Tamale City FC in a battle that was fiercely contested for.

The Division One League is picking up with some interesting results this weekend but the competition in Zone 1 is getting tougher.

The defeat to Young Apostles is their first defeat after an impressive start to the campaign and Real Tamale United came from behind to pick maximum points and their second victory in a row against Nkoranza Worriors.

After a defeat in their first game and having their outstanding game on Wednesday called off due security arrangements, Tamale City picked their first win of the season over Apostles while B. A. United emerged winners in a four goal thriller in Sunyani, with Wa Suntaa and Mighty Royals continuing their unbeaten start to the season.

Sam Otis’ penalty and Akwasi Sarpong’s stoppage-time screamer fired Tamale City to victory the visiting Apostles.
