Medeama, the reigning champions, secured a crucial victory against Great Olympics at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday afternoon, boosting them to third place in the league standings.
In a tightly contested match, Medeama emerged triumphant, thanks to a late goal by defender Kamaradini Mamudu in the 97th minute.
Despite Great Olympics dominating possession with 51%, Medeama showed more purpose, recording 14 goal attempts, four more than their opponents, and managing six shots on target, three more as well.
The defeat extended Great Olympics’ winless streak to five games, leaving them in a precarious position just one point above the relegation zone. With Dreams FC yet to play their remaining matches, Great Olympics face the looming threat of relegation.
On the flip side, Medeama finds themselves ten points behind the league leaders, Samartex, with five games left. Their strong finish last season, where they clinched the title, suggests they cannot be underestimated in the title race.
Given their history of mounting late challenges, Medeama could pose a significant threat to Samartex’s lead in the championship race.
