Nations FC returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion with a commanding 2-0 victory over Eleven Wonders at the Swedru Sports Stadium on Friday, a result that further plunges the hosts into relegation turmoil.

Goals from Joseph Effah and Emmanuel Annor secured all three points for the visitors, lifting Nations to eighth place on the Premier League table as they continue their steady climb up the standings.

Nations wasted no time asserting their authority. Effah stunned the home team just four minutes into the contest to set the tone for a disciplined and confident display from the visitors.

Although Wonders attempted to regroup and search for an equalizer, Nations remained compact defensively and dangerous on the counterattack. Their organisation and composure ensured they controlled key phases of the game, limiting the hosts to few clear-cut chances.

The decisive blow arrived deep into stoppage time. In the 93rd minute, Annor latched onto a forward pass, rounded the advancing goalkeeper with composure, and calmly slotted the ball into an empty net to put the result beyond doubt.

Nations’ superiority was evident throughout, as they enjoyed greater possession and created the more meaningful opportunities. In contrast, Wonders struggled to convert their limited chances, a recurring theme in what has been a difficult campaign.
