Bibiani GoldStars secured a gritty 1-0 victory over Young Apostles at Dun’s Park on Sunday, April 13, 2025, in a crucial matchday 27 Ghana Premier League encounter.
The decisive moment came just before halftime when Alex Aso struck what proved to be the only goal of the game. His well-timed finish gave the Miners the edge in a closely contested battle.
The win not only preserved GoldStars’ impressive unbeaten run at home but also lifted them to 47 points—bringing them level with league leaders Asante Kotoko, who maintain top spot on superior goal difference.
It was the perfect reaction from head coach Frimpong Manso and his side after their disappointing 2-0 loss to Dreams FC in their previous fixture. “It was the response Frimpong Manso wanted following their 2-0 defeat in their last outing to Dreams FC,” a sentiment echoed around the stadium after the final whistle.
Young Apostles put up a spirited fight and looked capable of causing an upset. But GoldStars stuck to their tactical approach and successfully nullified the visitors’ threat. “Young Apostles threatened an upset but their hosts’ game plan worked to perfection as they kept them at bay.”
For the Premier League debutants, it was another frustrating outing in what has become a difficult stretch of form. They have now won just one of their last seven matches and sit 13th on the league table with 30 points. “The Premier League debutants have now won just one of their last seven matches which leaves them in 13th position in the league standings with 30 points.”

Meanwhile, Bibiani GoldStars now shift their focus to a high-stakes clash against Bechem United—a game that could further intensify the pressure on Asante Kotoko at the top of the table.
