Hearts of Oak head coach Didi Dramani has blamed poor decision-making by his players for their draw against Aduana FC in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.

The Phobians hosted the team from Dormaa at the Accra Sports Stadium, hoping to claim all three points to stay in contention for the league title.

Despite dominating the contest, the home team could not find the back of the net and eventually settled for a goalless stalemate at full-time.

Speaking in his post-match interview, Didi Dramani acknowledged that his team’s decision-making on the matchday was poor, insisting that they must work harder to improve.

“I think that it’s part of the sporting event where you have challenges, and you have learning curves. I believe this is part of the learning, and we will deal with the challenges. It is still decision-making. I have said it from day one. I think we need to improve our decision-making,” the Hearts of Oak coach said.

He continued, “I think what is important in football is that you always need to improve and you need to be humble enough to agree that there is work to be done and you have to grow.”

With just a point from the game against Aduana FC, Hearts of Oak are officially out of the Ghana Premier League title race.

The team will now focus on winning their next two matches to guarantee a top-four finish.

Aduana FC head coach, Cioaba Aristica, has expressed his satisfaction with his team’s draw against Hearts of Oak in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.

The two teams locked horns at the Accra Sports Stadium, determined to amass all three points to improve their chances of finishing in the top four of the league standings at the end of the campaign.

Despite the efforts of both teams, neither side could find the back of the net and had to settle for a point apiece.

Speaking in his post-match interview, Cioaba Aristica complained about fixture congestion in the past week, insisting that it has caused fatigue in his squad.

“It was a difficult game. This week we have played three games. Two games away and one home match. We have travelled long distances, and some players are tired,” the Romanian tactician said.

In the interview, Aristica emphasised the importance of the draw, noting that it gives his team a crucial point to build on in the last two matches to try and finish in the top four.

“It’s good that we didn’t lose the game. We have another game, and we will try to finish in the top four,” Cioaba Aristica said.

With just two games to end the season, Aduana FC sit fourth in the Ghana Premier League standings with 47 points. The team from Dormaa will host Young Apostles in their next league match at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park.

Samuel Prempeh's first half strike on 32 minutes was enough to seal a crucial win for the hosts who remain in 14th place in the league standings with 42 points.

Nation's poor away form has being their bane this season, and the defeat means they drop into the relegation zone on 41 points.

Frimpong Manso's side must win their two remaining game or face relegation from the top flight. The situation is no different for the Apostles who are just a point above the danger zone.

Both teams will be desperate for a win in their next matches when Apostles travel to Aduana FC while Nations host Vision FC.

Kofi Tanib Oxborn’s strike in the 32nd minute proved to be the difference, as the ‘Bibires’ recorded a third consecutive victory and denied the visitors back-to-back away wins.

The result moves the hosts into the top half of the league standings with 44 points, just two behind Dreams FC.

For the ‘Still Believe’, a second defeat in six matches sees them drop from fifth to seventh place in the standings.

Berekum Chelsea will look to build on this victory when they travel to face already relegated Eleven Wonders in their next match, while Dreams FC will aim to bounce back against title-chasing Medeama SC.

Medeama SC strengthened their Ghana Premier League title ambitions with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Basake Holy Stars on Sunday, as Kingsley Braye’s decisive second-half strike ensured the Mauve and Yellow maintained their grip on the title race in a pulsating encounter at the AIK Ampain Park

Heading into the crucial fixture, Medeama were fully aware of the stakes.

With reigning champions Gold Stars temporarily moving a point clear at the summit following developments involving Hohoe United’s withdrawal from the top flight, Ibrahim Tanko’s side faced immense pressure to respond. Yet, in a display of resilience, determination and attacking intent, the Tarkwa-based club delivered when it mattered most.

From the opening whistle, Medeama signaled their intentions, dominating stretches of the game and pushing aggressively for an early breakthrough. Their adventurous approach nearly paid dividends on several occasions, with talented winger Kelvin Nkrumah emerging as a constant threat to the Basake Holy Stars defence.

The lively attacker twice rattled the woodwork in a spirited performance, coming agonisingly close to opening the scoring as Medeama relentlessly searched for a breakthrough.

Despite their dominance, Medeama endured moments of frustration in the second half when midfielder Salim Adams squandered a golden opportunity from the penalty spot. The missed spot-kick could have dented their momentum, but Tanko’s men refused to lose composure in a contest that tested both their patience and mental resolve.

Their persistence was eventually rewarded when Kingsley Braye stepped up to deliver the decisive moment of the match. The forward found the back of the net in the second half, calmly converting to hand Medeama a priceless lead and ultimately secure all three points in one of their most significant away performances of the campaign.

The narrow but vital triumph further underlined Medeama’s impressive record against Basake Holy Stars and highlighted the squad’s growing belief as the season enters its defining stages.

With only three matches remaining, every point carries enormous significance, and Sunday’s victory could prove pivotal in shaping the destiny of the league title.

Medeama now sit two points ahead of defending champions Gold Stars at the top of the Ghana Premier League standings, firmly positioning themselves as frontrunners in what promises to be a dramatic conclusion to the season.

Hearts of Oak saw their Ghana Premier League title hopes officially come to an end after being held to a goalless draw by Aduana FC at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday. 

The Phobians needed victory to keep their slim chances alive, but were frustrated by a disciplined Aduana side in a tense and hard-fought encounter.

Despite creating the better openings and winning more corner kicks, Hearts failed to find the breakthrough as their struggles in front of goal continued.

The result means Hearts will finish the season without a trophy and must now turn attention toward rebuilding for next season after a campaign heavily affected by too many draws, especially at home.

Coach Didi Dramani’s side entered the season with hopes of competing strongly for silverware, but inconsistency ultimately proved costly in the title race.

Aduana, meanwhile, will take encouragement from the result as they continue their push for a top-four finish in the final two matches of the campaign.

The Dormaa-based side defended resolutely throughout the contest and extended their strong recent record against Hearts.

Heart of Lions handed their survival hopes a huge boost with a cruising victory over FC Samartex at the Kpando Stadium on Sunday.

Ishmael Addo sealed victory just before half, and FC Samartex missed the opportunity of pulling one back after a second-half penalty miss.

The hosts wasted no time in establishing their intentions with an early dominance which almost resulted in a goal in the first five minutes.

Meanwhile, it did not take time for them to get the opener after Abban slotted home.

The home side continued to pile pressure for a second which came 20 minutes later through Asante, who finished off a brilliant move.

The home side continued to press for more goals and eventually doubled their advantage in the 70th minute when Bernard Kwarteng converted from the penalty spot.

Zaidan Alhasaan then wrapped up the victory seven minutes later with Vision’s third goal to complete a dominant afternoon for the hosts.

The important win lifts Vision just outside the relegation zone heading into the final stages of the season and gives the team renewed confidence ahead of their next crucial fixture against Nations FC.

Karela, meanwhile, remain ninth on the league table despite the defeat.

The visitors will now turn attention to their upcoming home game against Swedru All Blacks, where a draw would be enough to officially secure their top-flight status for next season.

Swedru All Blacks and Bechem United shared the spoils in a dramatic 1-1 draw in their Ghana Premier League Matchday 32 clash at the Swedru Sports Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The encounter lived up to expectations as both sides battled fiercely in a crucial fixture with survival implications.

All Blacks entered the game on the back of a morale-boosting 5-2 victory over Eleven Wonders and were eager to secure another important win in front of their home supporters.

Bechem, meanwhile, were determined to bounce back from their recent defeat to Dreams FC.

The opening half produced several promising moments from both teams, but neither side managed to find the breakthrough before halftime.

The hosts looked dangerous in attack while Bechem relied on quick transitions and organized defending to frustrate the Black Magicians.

After the restart, the intensity increased as both clubs pushed for the opening goal.

The breakthrough finally arrived in the 77th minute when midfield maestro Kofi Tompuo produced a brilliant finish to hand Bechem a 1-0 lead.

The goal silenced the home crowd and appeared to have put the Hunters on course for all three points.

However, All Blacks refused to surrender. The home side continued to pile pressure on Bechem deep into stoppage time and eventually found the equalizer in the 90+1st minute through Eric Wiafe Darkwa, whose late strike sparked celebrations among the supporters.

Asante Kotoko returned to winning ways with a comfortable 2-0 victory over already relegated Eleven Wonders at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi on Sunday afternoon.

The result handed interim coach Hamza Obeng his first victory since taking charge and ended Kotoko’s four-match winless run in the Ghana Premier League.

Kotoko took the lead in the 39th minute through Lawson Kyei Manu, who produced a fine curled finish to put the Porcupine Warriors ahead before halftime.

The hosts continued to dominate after the break and sealed the victory in the 69th minute when youngster Anthony Duah scored on his senior debut after being promoted from the youth team by Obeng.

It marked a memorable afternoon for the young striker, whose goal capped an encouraging display from Kotoko’s emerging talents.

The victory offers a timely boost for Kotoko after a difficult spell that had seen their title hopes fade during the second half of the season.

For Eleven Wonders, the defeat extended a miserable run of form. The relegated side are now without a victory in 13 consecutive matches, managing only one draw during that period since their last win in January.

Kotoko will now shift focus to their next league fixture against Bechem United, while Eleven Wonders prepare to face Berekum Chelsea.

Ebenezer Annan is set to miss Ghana’s upcoming international friendly against Mexico due to AS Saint-Etienne’s ongoing promotion battle in France.

The left-back was recently called up by new Black Stars coach Carlos Queiroz as part of preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The friendly against Mexico is expected to provide Queiroz with an opportunity to assess players and begin shaping his squad ahead of the tournament in North America.

However, Annan’s availability is now in serious doubt with Saint-Etienne entering a decisive stage of their campaign as they push for promotion back to the French top flight.

The Ghanaian defender has played an important role for the French side this season and is expected to remain part of the team’s plans during the final stretch of the campaign.

Reports indicate the club are unwilling to release the player for international duty at such a crucial stage of the season.

The situation leaves Annan facing a difficult choice between national team duty and helping his club achieve promotion.

His Saint-Étienne teammate Augustine Boakye, who also received a Black Stars call-up, is likewise expected to miss the match.

Ghana are scheduled to face Mexico on May 22 as part of preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
