Bibiani GoldStars edged Aduana FC 1-0 in a tense Ghana Premier League match week 12 encounter at Dun’s Park on Sunday, with Samuel Atta Kumi’s early penalty proving decisive.
The victory carries significant weight for the defending champions, who were seeking a response after last weekend’s loss to Nations FC.
Aduana entered the fixture unbeaten in seven matches and leading the league table, but their momentum faltered against a GoldStars side that has been resolute at home throughout the campaign.
The hosts broke the deadlock in the 16th minute when Atta Kumi converted from the spot, capitalising on their bright start and energising the home crowd.
Aduana pushed for a response but were repeatedly frustrated by GoldStars’ compact defensive structure, which has now delivered four consecutive home clean sheets.
The win moves them to 22 points in fourth, closing in on the league’s frontrunners, while Aduana remain on 23 points in third after their third defeat of the season.
GoldStars now prepare for an away trip to Samartex. Aduana return home to face Basake Holy Stars as they aim to regroup quickly.
