Kingsley Braye's strike keeps Medeama one point clear while John Antwi's brace fires Hearts of Oak up to second in the Ghana Premier League.
The Ghana Premier League title race is heating up. Medeama SC protected their lead at the summit on Matchday 10, and Hearts of Oak roared into second place with a statement win.
Medeama needed just one moment of quality at the TnA Stadium on Sunday. Kingsley Braye struck in the 38th minute to beat Swedru All Blacks 1-0, and the defending champions held on. That lifts them to 21 points from 10 games, one point clear at the top, and they remain unbeaten at home this season.
Hearts of Oak were even more emphatic against Heart of Lions. Ransford Mensah put the Phobians ahead after only two minutes. John Antwi then doubled the lead with a composed finish from a well-worked set-piece routine. The experienced forward completed his brace two minutes after the break to seal the win and send Hearts up to second.
There was late heartbreak for Asante Kotoko at Golden City Park. Adam Inusah gave the Porcupine Warriors the lead from the penalty spot in the 60th minute, but Zackaria Fuseini levelled for Berekum Chelsea five minutes later. Yussif Bayanalabe then struck in the 90+1st minute to complete the comeback and win it 2-1. The defeat leaves Kotoko 10th.
