Kalibi secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Bereku City in the opening fixture of the First Division League's Regular Season on Friday. The match took place on 2026-09-19, marking the beginning of what should be a competitive campaign. Both sides entered the contest with fresh tables to write on, having not yet played this season.
The result places Kalibi in second position after their solitary game, sitting on three points from one win. They tightened things up defensively to see out the shutout, and by then the home crowd had every reason to feel optimistic. The visitors, meanwhile, find themselves in eighth after picking up nothing from their first outing.
Bereku City's defeat leaves them with a goal difference that tells a simple story — one goal scored against, none returned. It was a match they needed to take something from, but they couldn't get over the line. The pressure now shifts to improving their performance levels before the next round.
Looking at recent history, Bereku City's last competitive outings show mixed fortunes. They lost 0-1 to Bofaakwe Tano in January 2024, then bounced back with a comfortable 3-0 win over Techiman Liberty in November 2023. Those results suggest they have the capacity to compete, but consistency remains the question.
The table after one round is still fluid, but the gap between Kalibi and Bereku City is already visible. Three points versus zero — that's a difference that will need addressing if the visitors want to climb away from the bottom half.
