Medeama SC secured a gritty 1-0 win against Nations FC on matchday seven of the Ghana Premier League, thanks to a first-half goal from Osah Tetteh.
The decisive strike, which came 23 minutes into the match, earned Nebosja Kapor’s side a crucial three points at the TNA Stadium. Tetteh’s goal highlighted a well-fought first half; after some intelligent build-up play, he found space just inside the box and calmly slotted the ball past the Nations FC goalkeeper, leaving the visiting defense scrambling.
This moment of brilliance was particularly important for Medeama, who entered the match seeking redemption after a 2-0 defeat to Bechem United in their previous outing. Despite taking an early lead, Medeama faced stiff resistance from a determined Nations FC, who aimed to fight back.
The visitors, previously unbeaten in the league, showed flashes of attacking intent but were consistently thwarted by Medeama’s disciplined defense. In the second half, Nations FC emerged with renewed energy, pushing forward in search of an equalizer.
They created several dangerous opportunities, but Medeama goalkeeper Kofi Mensah stood tall, making critical saves to maintain his team’s lead. As the clock wound down, Nations FC’s frustration grew, but Medeama remained resolute, keeping their shape and looking for counter-attacking chances.
Kapor’s side expertly managed the closing stages of the match, using their experience to secure the narrow victory. This win marks Medeama’s fourth of the season and their second at the newly renovated TNA Stadium, bringing their points tally to 14 out of a possible 21. It also provides much-needed stability after a series of inconsistent performances earlier in the campaign.
For Nations FC, this defeat signifies the end of their unbeaten run in the league.
