History was made in the English Premier League on Sunday as brothers Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew scored in the same minute at different grounds on the final day of the season.
Both notched a goal in the 72nd minute of their respective matches.
Kumasi Asante Kotoko needed a second half goal from Baba Mahama in their match at Agona Swedru to advance to the MTN FA Cup Round of 16 at the expense of second tier side, Proud United.
Wassaman FC knocked out Kumasi King Faisal from the ongoing MTN FA Cup to qualify for the next stage with a 2-1 victory in a drama filled game played at the Baba Yara sports Stadium yesterday.
Faisal had two of their players sent off after the skipper Godfred Appiah handled the ball the post, while Godfred Sarpong was also shown the red card for a second bookable offence in an off-the-ball incident.
Accra Hearts of Oak advanced to the next stage of the MTN FA Cup competition when they defeated Akim Oda-based Kotoku Royals 4-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium yesterday.
Notwithstanding some controversial decisions by referee Dan Dogbetor, Royals played a good game and could have scored at least two goals but lacked the finesse to convert their numerous chances into goals and, therefore, bowed out to their more experienced opponents who scored two goals in each half to progress to the Round of 16.
It may be early days but it seems Ghana have unearthed another scoring sensation with the stellar display of Eric Ayiah so far at the Total U-17 African Cup of Nations Gabon 2017.
Beleaguered Asante Kotoko will shift their focus to the MTN FA Cup tomorrow as they come up against Division One side, Proud United, in a Round of 32 away fixture at Agona Swedru.

Kwasi Appiah took charge of his first game last Wednesday when his local Black Stars side thrashed lower division side, Accra Lions 5-0 in a trial match at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence at Prampram.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that when Jordan Ayew joined Swansea City there was absolutely nothing in the way of fanfare to herald his arrival.
The Ghanaian sealed his move to the Liberty Stadium on transfer deadline day, with Neil Taylor plus £5million — heading in the opposite direction to Aston Villa
Work is to resume by the end of July this year on the abandoned Amasaman Community Sports Complex in the Ga West District of the Greater Accra Region.
To pave the way for the resumption of work on the abandoned project, the Ghana OIympic Committee (GOC) is already working in earnest to ensure all the requisite documents on the project site are ready.
The Minister of Youth and Sports, Isaac Kwame Asiamah, has given the assurance that the ministry would help to properly secure the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA) land on which OlympiAfrica was putting up a community sports facility at Amasaman in the name of the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC).
He said the project, when completed, would be for the benefit of the entire country and therefore even though the land origionally belonged to the MOFA, he would liaise with the GOC to secure the land properly.

Premier Club, Accra Hearts of Oak, after their run of impressive results in the top flight, will turn their focus on the MTN FA Cup Round of 32 home assignment against Kotoko Royals FC at the Accra Stadium on Sunday in an attempt to avoid an upset.
