Aduana FC returned to winning ways in thrilling fashion, edging Bibiani GoldStars 2-1 at the Nana Agyeman Badu I Park thanks to a dramatic stoppage-time penalty.

A tightly contested first half offered little in terms of clear chances, with both sides struggling to find rhythm in the final third. The breakthrough eventually came in the 59th minute when Benjamin Tsivanyo produced a composed finish to give the hosts a deserved lead.

The Ogya Boys looked on course to secure victory, but the league leaders responded with determination. With 11 minutes remaining, Razack Sanou capitalised on a defensive lapse to level the score, setting up a tense finale.

Just as the game seemed destined for a draw, late drama unfolded. Deep into stoppage time, Aduana were awarded a crucial penalty, and Emmanuel Marfo kept his composure to convert from the spot, sealing a vital win for the home side.

The result ends Aduana’s winless streak and underlines their formidable home form, while GoldStars’ grip on top spot now hangs in the balance pending the outcome of the clash between Medeama SC and Asante Kotoko.
