Hicalrar secured a 2:0 victory over Keposh Kampute in the sixth round of the Liga Asenso regular season on Saturday evening, extending their unbeaten run to eight matches. The result keeps both sides level on ten points, though the hosts have played one fewer game. It was a controlled performance from the home side, who managed the tempo well after taking the lead.
There is unrest in the dressing room at Keposh Kampute after this one. They had momentum coming in, winning three of their last five, but they fell apart after the opener and could not find a response. The visitors had slightly more possession—51 per cent to 49—but that never translated into genuine danger. Only three shots on target all evening, and two of them came after the break when the game was already settled.
We tipped the home side to win, gave it 57 per cent confidence, and by then it was looking straightforward. Hicalrar were sharper in the final third, putting eight shots on target compared to Keposh Kampute's three. The difference was in efficiency. They picked one up last week against Santu-Cruš and carried that rhythm into this fixture, snatching the breakthrough early and then sitting deep and soaking it up.
The yellow cards tell a story Keposh Kampute might prefer to forget. Five bookings against three for the hosts, and the visitors were chasing shadows for long stretches. They had more attacks—82 to 80—but most of them came when the ball was played into their defensive third. Hicalrar did not need to chase the game; they ran the show without needing to open up.
Both teams remain in the upper half, which is where you want to be this early. Hicalrar sit fourth with four games played, Keposh Kampute third with five. The gap is tight—two points separate the top four—and every match matters more now. The hosts have not lost since the opening day, and this result extends that run to eight across all competitions.
