Kelvin Oppong struck deep into stoppage time to hand Bibiani GoldStars a dramatic 1–0 victory over Swedru All Blacks in a tense Ghana Premier League Round 21 encounter on Sunday at Dun’s Park.
With the match seemingly heading for a goalless draw, Oppong rose to the occasion in the 90th minute plus six, firing home the decisive goal to spark wild celebrations among the home supporters.
The contest was closely fought and largely defined by discipline issues and late drama. Both sides struggled to create clear-cut chances across a cagey first half, with midfield battles outweighing attacking fluency.
As the game wore on, frustration crept in, reflected in a flurry of yellow cards, particularly in the closing stages. Swedru All Blacks attempted to manage the game and escape with a point, but their resistance was finally broken in added time.
Oppong’s late intervention proved crucial for the defending champions, who showed resilience and patience to grind out all three points.
The result lifts GoldStars to fourth place on the league table after 21 matches, level on 36 points with Aduana and Hearts of Oak, firmly keeping them in the title conversation.
For Swedru All Blacks, the late defeat was a bitter blow as they remain 14th with 24 points, still hovering above the relegation zone and searching for consistency.
GoldStars will next host Basake Holy Stars while Swedru All Blacks return home to face Samartex in another crucial fixture.
