Maxwell Agyemang's first-half goal lifts Debibi United out of the relegation zone and ends their three-game winless run in Ghana's top flight.
Ghana Premier League Week 7 delivered another chapter of domestic drama as newly promoted Debibi United climbed out of the relegation zone with a gritty 1-0 win over Bibiani Gold Stars at Debibi Presby Park on Sunday.
Maxwell Agyemang was the hero, striking just before the break to settle a tight contest. The goal snapped the hosts' three-match winless run and pulled them level on seven points with their visitors, a big psychological lift for a side still finding its feet in the top flight.
After the restart, the Oziii Ozaaa boys defended their slim advantage with discipline and resolve. Gold Stars pushed for an equalizer but could not break down the hosts, who held firm to protect three precious points on home soil.
The result denied the Miners back-to-back wins. Bibiani had hoped to build on their home victory over Basake Holy Stars last weekend, but the debutants showed the resilience needed to survive in this league.
Next up, Debibi United travel to face Bechem United as they look to build momentum, while Gold Stars aim to bounce back at home against Heart of Lions.
