Medeama SC Stun at Home as Young Apostles Defeat Gold Stars at home

League leaders Medeama SC’s title charge suffered a major blow after a 2–1 defeat to relegation-threatened Hohoe United at the Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium, their first home loss of the season on Sunday afternoon.

Coach Ibrahim Tanko’s side took the lead shortly after the restart through Kelvin Obeng, but Hohoe United quickly responded when Fatawu Sulemana inadvertently turned the ball into his own net.

Medeama then missed a golden chance to regain the lead when goalkeeper Felix Kyei failed to convert a penalty.

The visitors later capitalized on a defensive lapse to score the winner and seal a famous victory.

Despite the defeat, Medeama remains top of the table.

At the Wenchi Sports Stadium, Young Apostles FC delivered a huge boost to their survival hopes with an impressive 3–1 victory over Bibiani Gold Stars FC in their matchday 25 fixture.

Claude Shooting Borrtey opened the scoring with a superb free kick before Mattias Van Amegbe doubled the lead before halftime. Issah Husseine added a third after the break, while Godfred John Arthur grabbed a late consolation for the defending champions.

The result lifts Young Apostles to 14th place, two points above the relegation zone.
