Back from recess, Rauf scored his second goal on the hour mark to increase the tally for Accra Lions. Now in the driving seat Oliver Amedor and Frederick Asante added their names to scorers list before Rauf Salifu put the icing on the cake with an absolute beauty to round things up – his third of the day and sixth for Accra Lions.
Rauf Salifu – a second hat-trick in 5 days, has now scored 16 goals after 18 matches and leads the top scorers chart in Zone Three.
