Bechem United secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over reigning champions FC Samartex at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park on Saturday, December 21, 2024.
The decisive moment came early in the second half when Dalvin Yeboah struck just two minutes after the break, giving the home side a crucial lead. Yeboah’s goal proved enough as the Hunters displayed resilience to maintain their slim advantage until the final whistle.
The victory extends Bechem United’s unbeaten run in the Ghana Premier League to nine matches, solidifying their place among the title contenders. They currently sit in third position on the league table with 26 points, just one point behind leaders Heart of Lions.
Meanwhile, the defeat deepens FC Samartex’s struggles, as the defending champions are now winless in their last six league outings. They find themselves in 10th place with 17 points, a disappointing position for a team of their caliber.
Looking ahead, Bechem United will travel to face league newcomers Basake Holy Stars in their next fixture, while FC Samartex will return to Samreboi to host Nations FC in a bid to end their winless streak.
