Young Apostles secured their first three points of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League season after edging Basake Holy Stars 1-0 at the Nana Abrefa Nketia VII Stadium on Sunday.
Samuel Prempeh scored the only goal of the match in the seventh minute, giving Young Apostles an early advantage they managed to protect until the final whistle.
The early breakthrough provided the perfect response for the home side following their disappointing 3-0 defeat to Vision FC in their opening league match.
Young Apostles approached the game with greater determination and defended their lead effectively despite sustained pressure from a Basake Holy Stars side searching for an equaliser.
Holy Stars struggled to find a way through the Apostles defence, with the home team remaining disciplined and organised throughout the encounter.
The visitors had entered the match with confidence after defeating Swedru All Blacks on the opening weekend, but they were unable to reproduce that attacking threat against a resilient Young Apostles side.
The victory also means Young Apostles have maintained their unbeaten home record against Basake Holy Stars.
The three points will give Young Apostles a much-needed boost as they prepare for their next league assignment away against newly promoted Debibi United.
Basake Holy Stars, meanwhile, will look to recover from the defeat when they host FC Ashantigold in their next fixture.
