The battle for the Ghana Premier League championship took another decisive twist on Wednesday after Berekum Chelsea produced a stunning 2-1 victory over league leaders Medeama SC at the Golden City Park, dramatically reopening the contest for the title with only three matches remaining in the campaign.
Medeama initially looked poised to tighten their grip at the summit after Kelvin Nkrumah handed the visitors an early advantage in the 12th minute following an incisive assist from Salim Adams.
Despite conceding first, Berekum Chelsea responded with resilience and growing confidence as Seidu Abubakar restored parity to ignite the contest before Jonah Attuguaye delivered the decisive breakthrough in the second half to complete an impressive comeback victory for the home side.
The triumph provided a significant boost to Chelsea’s ambitions of preserving their top flight status while simultaneously dealing a major setback to Medeama’s championship aspirations. The defeat has now reduced Medeama’s lead at the top of the standings to a slender two point margin, setting the stage for a tense conclusion to the season.
Meanwhile, Bibiani Gold Stars capitalised on Medeama’s slip by reigniting their own pursuit of the league crown with a crucial home victory against FC Samartex 1996 at the Dun’s Park.
Michael Nkoah emerged as the hero for Gold Stars after scoring twice during the opening half to inspire a commanding response from the club following recent disappointing results. The victory has now moved Gold Stars within touching distance of the league leaders and injected fresh momentum into an increasingly unpredictable title race.
With only a handful of fixtures remaining, the championship contest has evolved into one of the most fiercely contested finishes in recent Ghana Premier League history as multiple clubs continue to push aggressively for domestic supremacy.
