Medeama SC continued their imperious march at the summit of the Premier League with a convincing 3–0 victory over Young Apostles at the TnA Stadium, tightening their grip on the title race.

Goals from Fuzy Taylor, Kamaradini Mamudu and substitute Prince Owusu capped another dominant display by the Mauve and Yellow, who moved five points clear at the top as they pursue a second league crown. Young Apostles remain 14th and continue to struggle for consistency on the road.

Elsewhere, Aduana FC staged a thrilling late comeback to defeat Karela United 2–1 at the Nana Agyeman Badu I Park. After conceding an early own goal, captain Alex Boakye restored parity from the penalty spot before substitute Charles Gyamfi Kamara struck deep into stoppage time to secure a morale-boosting win for the Ogya Boys.

Asante Kotoko endured another frustrating afternoon as they were held to a goalless draw by Berekum Chelsea at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium. Despite dominating possession, the Porcupine Warriors failed to find a breakthrough, leaving them six points off the pace at the top, while Chelsea earned a valuable away point through disciplined defending.

Bechem United boosted their survival hopes with a hard-fought 1–0 victory over defending champions Bibiani Gold Stars. Veteran forward Augustine Okrah’s first-half strike proved decisive, lifting the Hunters further away from the relegation zone, while Gold Stars slipped to second place.

At the Swedru Sports Stadium, Swedru All Blacks showed late resilience to snatch a 1–1 draw against Nations FC. After Suweidu Sulemana had put the visitors ahead late on, Zayat Bubakari converted a stoppage-time penalty to earn the hosts a dramatic point.

Dreams FC produced one of the standout performances of the weekend, thumping Heart of Lions 3–0 to climb into mid-table. John Antwi, Collins Boah and Adams were on target as the Believers made light work of their visitors.

FC Samartex 1996, meanwhile, were held to a goalless draw by Vision FC at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena, a result that preserved their unbeaten home record but denied them a fourth consecutive home win.

Vision FC’s point lifted them to 12th as their recent resurgence continued.
