Aduana FC climbed to the top of the Ghana Premier League with a gritty 1–0 win over Heart of Lions in Kpando, halting the hosts’ impressive unbeaten home run this season.
The decisive moment came early in the second half when Patrick Mensah pounced on a rebound in the 51st minute to give the Ogya Boys all three points.
Although Lions saw plenty of the ball, their dominance never translated into real danger.
They ended the afternoon without a single shot on target, while Aduana made their limited chances count.
The victory takes Aduana to 27 points and puts them one point clear at the summit, though their stay at the top may depend on results elsewhere, especially with Medeama’s fixture against Bibiani Gold Stars postponed.
Lions, meanwhile, remain on 23 points and now face pressure to respond quickly after suffering their first home defeat of the campaign.
The Kpando side will next travel to face Samartex, while Aduana prepare for a home clash with Hearts of Oak.
The result also serves as an important bounce-back for Aduana following recent inconsistencies, reinforcing their title ambitions as the season gathers pace.
