Real Madrid wins against Éibar on la liga return

The hotly anticipated return to football has arrived. Fans and players alike were longing for action out on the pitch, even though there were no supporters inside the stadium. The Alfredo Di Stéfano hosted the first Real Madrid match after the LaLiga restart, and the Whites beat Éibar, showing their intention to fight for the league title in each of the remaining matches of the campaign. 


Kroos waited just four minutes to open the scoring for Madrid with a fine goal, after almost 100 days since the last match. He guided the ball towards goal with a side-footed strike that sailed into the top corner. Hazard was also back in action and heavily involved in the early attacks for the home side. 

Éibar looked for a quick reply, but Madrid controlled the game with long spells of possession, until they doubled the lead on the half hour mark. Ramos intercepted the ball in the middle of the park, carried it forward and linked up with Benzema and Hazard, and the Belgian squared it to the captain who turned the ball home to make it 2-0.

With barely any time for Éibar to catch their breath, the third goal came with 37 minutes gone. Hazard weaved his way into the box and tested Dmitrovic, whose save fell at the boots of Marcelo, and the Brazilian all but put the game to bed with a left-footed strike across goal. 

Rodrygo had the final chance before half-time, and then Zidane opted to bring on Mendy at the break. With 56 minutes on the clock, Edu Expósito forced Courtois into a fine stop. 

Éibar made three changes at once and they wasted no time making their presence felt. First, Sergi Enrich’s strike came crashing back off the crossbar, before Bigas succeeded in cutting the deficit from a corner (60’) and not long after, Courtois had to be alert once again to keep out a Pedro León effort.

Ringing the changes

Just as Éibar were enjoying their best spell of the match, Bale, Vinicius Jr. and Militão all entered the fray in an attempt to ease fatigue and the physical strain that was to be expected during what has been a bizarre season. Following the final water break, with 15 minutes still to play, Madrid took back control of the game to make sure of their first win following a return to LaLiga action.

DON'T MARRY WOMEN WITH EGO - ICGC Pastor Advices.

The Head Pastor of the ICGC Faith & Miracle Temple, Teshie Camp 2 Assembly, Rev. Samuel Nyarko, has advised men not to marry women with ego. Continuing from a teaching series he began earlier this year on the theme, "How to Make 2020 a Successful Year", Rev. Nyarko, during one of his evening Teaching Services on Tuesday, February 11, 2020, reiterated that, women with ego are trouble causers and would endanger the lives of men who married them.  "If you want to have a peaceful marriage then don't marry a woman with ego. She will drive you earlier into your grave". He added that "People who are egoistic are not ready to change and will always give you problems."  He, therefore, advised men to choose their life partners wisely. Teaching on why people don't grow, Rev. Nyarko established the points that indiscipline, loose life, wrong associations, wrong life partners, pride, arrogance, ignorance, unseriousness about life and its rewarding systems...

Coronavirus and easter

Over the past weeks, the world has been hit by a catastrophic disease which was subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation  (WHO). Yeah, I am referring to the coronavirus disease  (COVID-19) - a tiny yet dangerous virus that has brought great and mighty nations to their knees. Thousands of lives are recorded dead and people everywhere are panicking and wondering when all these would finally be over. When are things going to be normal again they ask. When are our children returning to school and when would the world's economy be stable again? Thousands of workers have lost their jobs globally. Social gatherings including religious organisations have been suspended. But as we are in the Easter week,  I ask of the impact of COVID-19 on its celebration.  Easter Easter celebrations varies from year to year. It is usually celebrated on the first Sunday after the full moon on or after 21st March. This year, Easter Sunday fall...

Coronavirus: Government of Ghana to spend GHS 1 Billion on electricity reliefs

The government will spend a little over GHS 1 billion over the next three months on relief for electricity consumers amid the economic slowdown from the novel coronavirus pandemic.  About 87 percent of the Ghanaian population on 4.8 million metres who have access to the national grid are in line to benefit from these reliefs, according to the Energy Minister, Peter Amewu. The government is fully absorbing electricity bills for lifeline consumers; persons who consume 0 to 50 kilowatt-hours per month. The other categories of consumers will enjoy a 50 percent discount within the same period. Addressing a press conference on Thursday morning, Mr. Amewu gave a breakdown of the reliefs with the Electricity of Ghana (ECG) accounting for most of the beneficiaries. ECG currently oversees one million metres for its lifeline customers, which amounts to 27.4 percent of its customers.  “This means that at the current tariff level, Government is absolving almost an amount of G...
