Samartex asserted their dominance at home by clinching a victory over Great Olympics at the Nsenkyire Sports Complex during the highly anticipated clash on Saturday. The Timber giants displayed resilience and determination, securing maximum points against the Dade boys in matchday 28 of the Ghana Premier League.
In a thrilling encounter between the two teams, both sides delivered commendable performances in their quest to claim the coveted three points. The first half concluded with an intense goalless draw, as neither team managed to find the back of the net.
However, it was the home team that ultimately emerged as the stronger opponent, seizing all points at stake over the two-time Ghana Premier League winners outfit. Samartex clinched victory in the dying moments of the game, with Kwasi Ofosu’s strike in the 82nd minute proving to be decisive.
The win marked a triumphant return to winning ways for Samartex, following their defeat against Asante Kotoko in the previous weekend’s fixture. With this victory, Samartex maintains their position at the top of the Ghana Premier League table, boasting 52 points and holding a six-point lead over second-placed Nations FC.
On the other hand, Great Olympics suffered a setback, sliding down to the 14th position with 33 points accumulated from 28 matches this season. It’s worth noting that Olympics have a game in hand due to Dreams FC’s involvement in the African campaign, which could potentially impact their standing in the league table.
