With the result, Gold Stars leapfrogged Nations FC to retake first position after 12 matches.
Kotoko Deliver Statement Win at Aduana
Asante Kotoko secured a composed 2-0 away victory against Aduana FC at Nana Agyemang Badu I Stadium.
Patrick Asiedu opened the scoring in the 10th minute before Albert Amoah, returning from injury, doubled the advantage in the 61st minute.
The win halts a recent dip in form and relieves mounting scrutiny on head coach Dr. Prosper Nartey Ogum. Kotoko climb to seventh with 18 points, while Aduana sit 13th.
Nations’ 22-Match Home Unbeaten Run Ends
Nations FC suffered their first home defeat since promotion, losing 1-0 to Berekum Chelsea.
Stephen Amankona converted an 18th-minute penalty to settle the contest. The defeat snapped a 22-match unbeaten home streak (12 wins, 10 draws) and ended Nations’ four-game winning run.
They drop to second, while Chelsea rise to ninth.
Medeama Impress Away Again
Medeama SC strengthened their top-four ambitions with a 2-0 win over Young Apostles FC at Wenchi.
Derrick Fordjour struck early before Prince Owusu added a second-half volley to secure the points. Medeama’s continued effectiveness on the road has become a defining feature of their campaign.
Young Apostles remain 12th.
Heart of Lions Maintain Momentum
Heart of Lions continued their strong form with a 3-0 win over Legon Cities at Kpando Stadium.
Kwame Obeng Jnr, Mustapha Yakubu and Nana Kwame Oppong were on target as Lions reinforced their status among the leading pack.
Legon Cities’ struggles persist near the foot of the table.
Bechem United and Basake Holy Stars Secure Narrow Wins
Bechem United edged Accra Lions 1-0 at Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park, courtesy of an Adomako Boateng own goal. The result deepens Accra Lions’ relegation concerns.
At C.A.M Park, Basake Holy Stars beat defending champions FC Samartex 1996 1-0, with Prince Tweneboah scoring just before halftime.
Dreams FC Stumble Again
Dreams FC fell 1-0 at home to Karela United, with Najib Fuseini scoring in the 83rd minute.
The defeat compounds an inconsistent start to the season for Dreams, raising further questions about their campaign direction.
