Medeama lost 1-0 at Real Tamale United on Wednesday afternoon in an outstanding Ghana Premier League clash at the Aliu Mahama Stadium in Tamale which was marred by fans riot.
Fuseini Mustapha scored the only goal of the match as early as the 9th minute to hand the home side their first win in seven matches.
However, the game was marred by crowd violence as match commissioner Charles Darkwah collapsed for moment after he was hit with a missile from the supporters.
Conversely, Medeama SC’s defeat deals a setback to their title defence ambitions. They currently sit in 11th position, trailing the top spot by 12 points, albeit with three outstanding games in the first round still in hand.
