Hohoe United pulled off a sensational 2-1 win over Medeama SC at the Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium, dealing a serious blow to the home side’s Ghana Premier League title ambitions.
Kelvin Obeng initially gave Medeama the lead just two minutes into the second half, raising hopes for a comfortable victory. However, the lead was short-lived as Fatawu Sulemana’s unfortunate own goal in the 53rd minute allowed Hohoe United to draw level, shifting the momentum in favor of the visitors.
Medeama’s frustration deepened moments later when they were awarded a penalty. Goalkeeper Felix Kyei took responsibility for the spot kick, but his effort missed the target—marking Medeama’s second missed penalty in three weeks and a critical turning point in the match.
Seizing on Medeama’s momentary lapse, Hohoe United capitalized on another error from Kyei, who had strayed off his line, and slotted the ball into an empty net to complete a remarkable comeback.
The defeat ended Medeama’s unbeaten home run for the 2025-26 season and disrupted their title chase, much to the shock of supporters in the bustling mining town of Tarkwa. Meanwhile, Hohoe United celebrated a hard-fought and historic victory, earning crucial points as they fight to climb away from the relegation zone.
Despite the setback, Medeama will be eager to recover quickly, while Hohoe United will take confidence from a display of resilience and opportunism that could boost their campaign in the coming weeks.
This match highlighted the unpredictable nature of the league, where determination and seizing key moments can turn the tide, leaving both fans and teams on edge until the final whistle.
