After enduring a humiliating 5-0 defeat to Accra Lions over the weekend, Berekum Chelsea urgently needed the win to recover their form.
Boadu made three alterations to the squad that suffered the heavy defeat to Accra Lions. Ahmed Adams was substituted by Collins Ameyaw, while Stephen Amankona and Flavien Kouassi Kongoza were introduced in place of Augustine Henneh and Prince Anane, respectively.
Samuel Boadu commenced his tenure as the head coach of Berekum Chelsea with a triumph, overseeing his team's victory against rivals Aduana Stars in the Bono derby on Wednesday afternoon.
It marked Boadu's first appearance in the dugout, guiding the Bibires to a narrow 1-0 win over Aduana in the Ghana Premier League at the Golden City Park in Berekum.
On the Aduana side, Yaw Acheampong made three changes to the squad that narrowly defeated Legon Cities FC in the previous round. Kelvin Obeng filled in for the absent Captain Bright Adjei, while Iddrisu Shaibu and Raymond Agyemang replaced Alex Boakye and Anderson Fiifi Asamoah.
Amankona, reinstated in the starting lineup for Chelsea, made a significant impact by converting a penalty in the first half to secure the victory.
With this win over the Ogya Boys, Chelsea moved up to third place in the league standings with 33 points from 21 matches, trailing the top spot by just five points.
Despite the setback, Aduana retained their position in second place, tied on points with Chelsea but ahead on goal difference."
