Aduana FC returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Bibiani Gold Stars at the Nana Agyeman Badu I Park on Friday in match day 29 of the Ghana Premier League (GPL), courtesy of a late penalty deep into stoppage time.
After a cagey first half that saw both sides struggle to create clear-cut chances, the breakthrough finally arrived in the 59th minute.
Benjamin Tsivanyo rose to the occasion for the Ogya Boys, calmly finishing to give the hosts a deserved lead and spark celebrations among the home supporters.
Aduana looked set to hold on, but league leaders Gold Stars showed resilience and fighting spirit. With 11 minutes remaining, Burkina Faso import Razack Sanou restored parity, capitalising on a lapse in Aduana’s defence to slot home the equaliser and silence the Dormaa crowd.
The game appeared to be heading for a draw, but there was late drama still to come.
Deep into additional time, Aduana were awarded a penalty after a foul in the box. Emmanuel Marfo stepped up with composure and converted from the spot, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way to seal all three points for the home side.
The victory ends Aduana’s three-game winless run and reinforces their strong home record this season.
For Gold Stars, the defeat is a setback in their title push, particularly given their recent struggles on the road. Enditem
