The Ghana Premier League witnessed a dramatic Matchday 10, with Medeama SC and Hearts of Oak emerging as the standout performers. In a thrilling set of fixtures, the defending champions, Medeama, maintained their impressive form, while Hearts of Oak sent a strong message to their title rivals.
At the TnA Stadium, Medeama SC secured a hard-fought 1-0 win over Swedru All Blacks, thanks to Kingsley Braye’s 38th-minute strike. This result extended their unbeaten home record this season and moved them one point clear at the summit with 21 points from 10 games. Braye’s goal, a well-taken finish, proved to be the difference in a tightly contested affair.
Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak produced a dominant display to defeat Heart of Lions. The Phobians, led by the experienced forward John Antwi, took an early lead through Ransford Mensah’s second-minute goal. Antwi then showcased his clinical finishing with a brace, first from a set-piece routine and then shortly after the break, sealing a comprehensive 3-0 victory. This result propelled Hearts of Oak into second place, just behind the leaders, Medeama.
Elsewhere, Asante Kotoko endured a late collapse against Berekum Chelsea, losing 2-1 at Golden City Park. Adam Inusah’s penalty had given Kotoko the lead, but Zackaria Fuseini’s equalizer and Yussif Bayanalabe’s last-gasp winner turned the game on its head. This defeat left Kotoko in 10th place, a disappointing result for the Porcupine Warriors.
As the league reaches its midway point, Medeama SC’s consistency and Hearts of Oak’s resurgence have set the tone for an exciting title race. With the top two teams pulling away, the chasing pack will need to find their best form to keep pace. The Premier League is shaping up to be a thrilling contest, with Medeama SC and Hearts of Oak leading the way.
