Bibiani Gold Stars Football Club produced a stunning late comeback to defeat Heart of Lions Football Club in a thrilling Ghana Premier League encounter at the Kpando Sports Stadium on Sunday.
The defending champions found themselves trailing after the first half following a 36th-minute strike from Lions forward Seedorf Asante, who gave the hosts a deserved lead heading into the break.
However, Gold Stars returned from the interval with renewed intensity and dominated possession in search of an equaliser. Their pressure eventually paid off in the 76th minute when Samuel Atta Kumi restored parity, sending the travelling supporters into celebration.
The dramatic turnaround was completed deep into stoppage time when substitute Godfred Arthur delivered the decisive goal, sealing all three points in dramatic fashion.
The victory marks three consecutive wins for the Miners, pushing them to second place on 42 points — just three behind league leaders Medeama Sporting Club in what is shaping up to be a tight title race.
Despite the defeat, Lions remain in mid-table security on 30 points and will aim to bounce back in their upcoming fixture against Basake Holy Stars Football Club.
Gold Stars will face a tougher challenge in their next match against Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club, who are closely chasing the top positions.
