Bibiani Goldstars continued their charge for the Ghana Premier League title with a dramatic 1-0 win over Medeama SC, keeping them firmly at the summit of the table with just six games left in the season.
In a closely-fought contest, the decisive moment arrived deep into added time when star forward Samuel Atta Kumi calmly slotted home a penalty, sparking wild celebrations among the home fans.
The goal not only secured all three points but also took his tally to 10 goals for the season—reaffirming his pivotal role in Goldstars’ title ambitions.
Earlier in the second half, Goldstars missed a golden opportunity to take the lead when Vincent Atingah failed to convert from the spot, putting extra pressure on the team as the minutes ticked away.
The opening half saw the hosts dictate the pace and create several chances, only to be denied repeatedly by Medeama’s goalkeeper Felix Kyei, who produced a series of outstanding saves to keep his side in the contest.
Just when it seemed both sides would settle for a draw, Goldstars were awarded a late penalty, which Atta Kumi converted with composure to seal a crucial win.
The Miners now sit on 53 points, two ahead of Nations FC, intensifying the race for the championship.
With six matches remaining, the title battle is heating up, shaping into an exciting two-team showdown as the season nears its conclusion.
