Berekum Chelsea begun the second round of their African Champions League campaign with a 5-0 home win against Raja Casablanca on Sunday.
The win at the Golden City Park in Sunyani could prove a huge step towards their march to the next stage of the competition.
Solomon Asante scored the opener before the break as a second half explosion saw Chelsea score four more goals through captain Abdul Basit and a hat-trick from striker Emmanuel Clottey to lead the first leg.
The lead puts the Ghanaian champions in a comfortable position as they play in their debut continental competition against the three-time winners.
Chelsea coach Hans Van der Plyum is thrilled with the scoreline against the Moroccan side ahead of the second leg in a fortnight's time.
"Our strategy is to score more goals than the opponent. If you get a chance against a side like Raja and play first at home, you have to take your chances. If you get the opportunities to score more goals, you have to take them very well. These teams are always difficult to beat away too," the Chelsea said.
