FC Samartex extended their dominance in the Ghana Premier League by securing a crucial 2-1 victory over Aduana FC, propelling them to a commanding five-point lead at the league’s summit.
The clash, held at the Nana Agyeman Badu I Stadium in Dormaa Ahenkro, unfolded with Baba Hamadu Musa igniting the scoreboard just eight minutes into the encounter, seizing an early advantage for the visitors.
Emmanuel Keyekeh, a former Asante Kotoko midfielder, then dazzled the crowd with a sublime strike, doubling Samartex’s lead 12 minutes later under Nurudeen Amadu’s astute guidance. Despite Aduana FC’s valiant efforts, epitomized by Sampson Cobbinah’s late goal in the 76th minute, reducing the deficit to one, Samartex maintained their composure to clinch the win.
The triumph elevated Samartex to 35 points, comfortably distancing themselves by five points from Aduana FC, who squandered the chance to claim the league’s summit.
Aduana FC’s forthcoming fixture against Medeama in match week 19 has been postponed due to their involvement in the CAF Champions League, prolonging their wait for redemption. Conversely, Samartex eagerly anticipates their upcoming clash against Nations FC at home next Sunday, poised to further solidify their league dominance.
