Swedru All Blacks continued their impressive run in the Premier League with a convincing 2–0 victory over Vision FC at the Swedru Stadium on Sunday, December 14, 2025, making it back-to-back wins for Ahmed Fathi’s side. The result also marked their third win in four matches, lifting the newly promoted side to 10th place on the table with 18 points.

Clement Tutu opened the scoring in the 25th minute before David Ofori’s unfortunate own goal shortly after the break sealed the points for the hosts. The defeat deepened Vision FC’s struggles, extending their winless run to six matches and dropping them to 15th in the standings. Swedru All Blacks next travel to relegation-threatened Bechem United, while Vision FC face another away test against Karela United in Tamale.

At the Golden City Park, Berekum Chelsea claimed a vital 1–0 home win over Hohoe United, offering a much-needed boost in their fight for survival. Despite Hohoe arriving in strong form, Chelsea showed greater resolve and organisation, limiting their visitors and capitalising late on. Prince Anane’s 78th-minute strike proved decisive, easing pressure on head coach Samuel Boadu. Although Chelsea remain in the relegation zone, the win provides renewed belief ahead of a tricky away fixture against Dreams FC. Hohoe United will look to bounce back when they host Bibiani Gold Stars.

Bechem United also strengthened their survival hopes with a narrow but crucial victory over fellow strugglers Eleven Wonders at the Nana Gyeabour Park. In a tense encounter, Augustine Mensah’s 74th-minute penalty settled the contest, ending Bechem’s recent poor run and moving them within three points of safety. For Eleven Wonders, the defeat compounds their difficulties as they remain rooted to the bottom of the table.

Meanwhile, Young Apostles brought an end to their five-match winless streak with a hard-earned victory over Karela United at the Wenchi Sports Stadium. Abdul Ganiyu’s stunning 20th-minute opener gave the hosts the lead before Felix Morty equalised for Karela shortly before half-time. Young Apostles regained the advantage early in the second half through Issah Nyaabila and held firm to secure a crucial win. The result, their fourth home victory of the season, draws them level on points with Karela United and provides a platform for renewed momentum going forward.

Asante Kotoko ended their four-match winless run with a hard-earned 1–0 victory over Dreams FC at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday, securing a vital three points in a closely contested Premier League encounter.

The match was intense and physical, with clear-cut chances at a premium for both sides. Kwame Opoku proved decisive, scoring from close range after Dreams FC failed to properly clear their lines. The striker, who had earlier missed a promising opportunity, showed composure to guide a left-footed effort past goalkeeper Osman Rahman.

Dreams FC mounted late pressure in search of an equaliser and came closest in the closing stages, but their effort was cleared off the line as Kotoko held firm under sustained pressure. Both sides showed visible signs of fatigue at full time, reflecting the demanding nature of the contest.

Kotoko enjoyed a slight advantage in possession, while both teams finished with the same number of shots on target. The result lifts the Porcupine Warriors to third place on the league table, while Dreams FC slip back into the relegation zone.
