Medeama SC moves three points clear at top of Ghana Premier League

Medeama SC solidified their position at the summit of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League table after securing a convincing 3-1 victory over Heart of Lions during Matchday 6. The win leaves the Tarkwa-based side three points clear at the top and preserves their unbeaten status in the campaign. While Medeama strengthened their grip on first place, Accra Hearts of Oak moved into second position following a narrow win against Port City FC, highlighting a shift in the upper echelons of the standings.

In the headline fixture at the TNA Stadium, Medeama's dominance was established early through a goal from Emmanuel Annor. Kingsley Braye proved to be the decisive factor in the match, netting twice to ensure the three points remained with the league leaders. Although Heart of Lions managed to pull one back through Kofi Mawutodzi Agbadji, the visitors could not overcome Medeama's clinical finishing. Elsewhere, Frank Abora Duku was the hero for Hearts of Oak, scoring a header that secured a 1-0 victory over Port City and continued the Phobians' recent recovery.

The matchday was also marked by a significant upset as Swedru All Blacks maintained their recent dominance over Asante Kotoko. Playing at the Swedru Stadium, the "Black Magicians" secured a 1-0 victory thanks to a late penalty converted by Wiafe Darkwah. This result marks the third consecutive win for the Swedru-based side against the Porcupine Warriors, who have struggled to find a way past their regional rivals in recent encounters. The defeat leaves Kotoko searching for consistency as they fall further behind the early pace-setters.

Across other league centers, Karela United maintained their formidable home form with a 1-0 win against Dreams FC, marking their third consecutive victory at home. High-scoring action was seen at Bechem, where Bechem United defeated Vision FC 4-2. Berekum Chelsea and Bibiani Gold Stars recorded comfortable home wins against Debibi United and Basake Holy Stars, respectively. The weekend's results were rounded off by narrow 1-0 victories for FC AshantiGold over Samartex 1996 and Young Apostles over Aduana FC, further tightening the mid-table competition as the season progresses.
