Godfred Eshun's 78th-minute winner sends Mysterious Dwarfs top of Ghana's Division One Zone Two, with Nations FC just one point behind.
Ghana's Division One League Zone Two has a new leader. Mysterious Dwarfs went top on Saturday with a 1-0 away win over newly promoted Ebiemo Nzema FC at the Ampain AAK II Sports Arena, a result that marks them out as early promotion contenders.
The former Premier League side had to be patient. The first half ended goalless, and the game stayed tight until Godfred Eshun broke the deadlock in the 78th minute. That was enough to settle it. The win lifts Mysterious Dwarfs to 12 points from five matches.
Nations FC are right behind them and refused to slip. On Sunday they won 1-0 away at Sefwi All Stars FC at the Juaboso Mampiobo Town Park. The game looked headed for a draw until Daniel Lomotey struck in the 88th minute. The late winner keeps Nations FC second on 11 points from five games, one point off the top.
Pro-Sports Academy sit third after keeping their early momentum going with a 1-0 win over former Premier League side New Edubiase United FC at Gyamfi Park in Bekwai on Saturday. They also had to wait until the closing stages for their breakthrough.
Three contenders have now won tight games late, and Zone Two is shaping up as a close race.
