The title race just exploded at Dun’s Park.
Bibiani Gold Stars FC delivered a thunderous statement, edging rivals Accra Hearts of Oak 2-1 in a pulsating clash that has sliced the gap at the summit to just one point.
With leaders Medeama Sporting Club stumbling against Swedru All Blacks, Gold Stars seized their moment — and they did it in heart-stopping fashion.
Samuel Acheampong set the tone early, firing the hosts ahead in the 15th minute and igniting belief inside Dun’s Park. But Hearts refused to fold. If not for goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, the contest could have been buried before halftime. The shot-stopper produced a string of crucial saves to keep the Phobians alive.
And they responded.
Henry Kwaku Boateng struck in the 64th minute to level matters, silencing the home crowd and setting up a grandstand finish.
Then came the dagger.
With the clock ticking into the 90th minute and tension suffocating the stadium, Augustine Boakye delivered the decisive blow — a late winner that sent the stands into wild celebration and the title race into overdrive.
For Hearts, it’s another painful missed opportunity. Now five points off the top and winless in two matches since their Super Clash triumph over Asante Kotoko Sporting Club, their grip on the summit chase is loosening at a dangerous time.
At the top, it’s no longer a comfortable cruise — it’s a sprint.
Just a point separates first and second. The pressure is suffocating. The momentum is shifting.
And Gold Stars have made one thing clear:
They are not chasing anymore — they are hunting.
