Inside first-half stoppage time, striker Alex Asamoah made it 2-0 for Wonders after dribbling past the Hunters’ keeper.
Bechem came back and played strongly in the second half and managed to halve the deficit through a penalty converted by substitute Steven Owusu in the 77th minute.
The goal boosted the Hunters as they put their hosts under immense pressure late on in chase for the equalizer but time was not on their side.
Eleven Wonders held on to win 2-1 and move one spot up to 13th with 33 points, just one behind Bechem United after 28 matches.
