Samartex edged past Heart of Lions with a narrow 1-0 victory on Sunday afternoon at the Nsenkyire Sports Stadium in Samreboi, a result that saw them leapfrog their opponents in the Premier League standings.
The decisive moment arrived in the 41st minute when Emmanuel Mamah found the net to give Samartex a deserved lead before the break. The goal came after a sustained period of pressure, with Mamah showing composure to convert and send the home supporters into celebration.
Heart of Lions pushed for an equaliser in the second half and enjoyed spells of possession, but Samartex remained organised at the back and limited their opponents to a few clear-cut chances. The hosts defended with discipline and game management in the closing stages to protect their slender advantage.
The win allows Samartex to move up to sixth place on the table, overtaking Heart of Lions, who drop to seventh following the defeat. With both sides closely matched in the standings, the result could prove significant as the season progresses and the race for the top positions remains tightly contested.
