Matchweek 27 of the Ghana Premier League delivered a major shift at the top of the table and fresh drama at the bottom, with just seven games left in the 2025/26 season.
Medeama SC were the biggest winners of the weekend, ending a six-game winless run with a composed 2–0 victory over Eleven Wonders FC at the TnA Stadium.
Kelvin Obeng opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with a well-taken header before Salim Adams doubled the lead six minutes later with a trademark free-kick.
The result, coupled with Bibiani Gold Stars FC’ 2–0 defeat to Karela United FC, sent Medeama back to the top of the table on 49 points.
The headline clash between Aduana FC and Asante Kotoko SC ended in a goalless draw at the Nana Agyemang Badu II Park.
Kotoko goalkeeper Aziz Dari was the standout performer, producing a series of crucial saves to keep his side in the game. The result leaves both sides still in contention but losing ground on the leaders.
In Accra, Hearts of Oak SC staged a spirited comeback to draw 2–2 with Swedru All Blacks FC.
The visitors shocked the home crowd by taking a two-goal lead through Rudolf Mensah and Williams Danquah. However, Mawuli Wayo pulled one back in the 61st minute before Frank Abora Duku equalised in the 74th.
Despite the comeback, Hearts remain winless in five matches, with coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani expressing frustration over missed chances.
At the bottom of the table, Young Apostles FC produced the shock of the round, thrashing Heart of Lions FC 3–0.
The emphatic victory lifts the newcomers out of the relegation zone and signals a strong push for survival.
Elsewhere, Dreams FC secured a 3–0 away win over Hohoe United FC, while Bechem United FC edged FC Samartex 1996 2–1.
Karela United FC boosted their survival hopes with a 2–0 win against Gold Stars, and Nations FC played out a 1–1 draw with Berekum Chelsea FC.
Vision FC and Basake Holy Stars FC also shared the spoils in a goalless draw.
With Medeama now leading on 49 points, just one ahead of Gold Stars, and both Asante Kotoko SC and Hearts of Oak SC still within touching distance, the title race remains wide open heading into the final stretch of the season.
