Medeama SC surged back to the top of the Premier League table with a composed 2-0 victory over bottom-placed Eleven Wonders at the Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium on Friday, reigniting their title charge at a crucial stage of the season.
The Mauve and Yellow now hold a slender one-point advantage over reigning champions Bibiani Gold Stars FC, who are yet to play this round. Their fate at the summit will be decided on Sunday when Gold Stars travel north to face Karela United FC in a potentially decisive encounter.
Medeama asserted control early in the contest and were rewarded in the 22nd minute when striker Kelvin Obeng broke the deadlock. He reacted quickest to a well-delivered corner from Fatawu Sulemana, guiding a clever header in from a tight angle to give the hosts the lead. Just six minutes later, midfielder Salim Adams doubled the advantage with a trademark free-kick, underlining Medeama’s early dominance.
The hosts controlled possession for large spells and created numerous chances in both halves but were unable to add to their tally, a minor blemish on an otherwise commanding performance. Nonetheless, the result ends their recent winless run and restores momentum at a crucial moment in the campaign.
Attention now turns to Sunday’s fixture in Tamale, where Gold Stars must secure all three points to reclaim top spot. Any slip-up—anything short of victory—will see Medeama retain their position at the summit after Matchday 27.
