DO YOU KNOW THAT, CLUB IN GHANA WITH THE HEAVIEST WIN IN AN AFRICA INTER-CLUB COMPETITION IS ASHANTIGOLD SC (GOLDFIELDS).

* THIS HAPPENED IN 1995.

* That record belongs to Obuasi Goldfields, now AshantiGold SC- who mortified N.P.A Anchors of Liberia 8-1 in the Preliminary Round of the Caf Champions Cup - as it were then known - on the 26th March, 1995. Four great goals by lethal striker Kofi Debrah, a hat-trick by Eben Hagan and one strike by Kwabena Boateng made goal scoring easy. 

* The 1995 Ghana League goal-king, Debrah scored three goals in six minutes in the 22nd, 24th, and 28th minute and added another in the 76th minute.

* The Liberians substituted their goal-keeper Latec Johnson in the first half after he had conceded six goals from the 7th minute to the 42nd minute. Anchors pulled a goal back through substitute Emmanuel Horton, but Debrah and Hagan completed the rout in the last 14 minutes of play. The Miners’ historic score-line slipped into oblivion when ASEC Mimosas dimmed the hysteria of the Anchors' pummeling by knocking Goldfields out in the second round of the competition.

NOTE: AshantiGold have scored more than two[2]  goals against North African side just once in their Fourteen meetings. It was against Zamelek of Egypt in 1997 Champions league Group stage. It ended 3-1 for Goldfields now AshantiGold. 
Kossi Noutsoudje scored all the three goals.
