Basake Holy Stars defender Moses Author was adjudged the Most Valuable Player (MVP) following his impressive performance in the club’s 1-0 victory over the Miners in Matchweek 3 of the Ghana Premier League.

The defender was a commanding figure at the back as Holy Stars secured all three points at the Awulae Amihere Kpanyinli III Sports Arena in Ampain.

Author’s performance was characterised by defensive composure, astute positioning and timely interventions, as he played a crucial role in keeping the visitors at bay.

Holy Stars broke the deadlock in the 35th minute when winger Joseph Hudson rose above his marker to head home a well-weighted inswinging cross from Kwabena Otoo.

AshantiGold 04 responded with increased attacking pressure, particularly after the break, as they sought to restore parity.

Author, however, remained resolute in the Holy Stars rearguard, helping his side withstand the visitors’ advances and preserve their narrow advantage.

The defender’s assured display ultimately earned him the MVP accolade, capping a performance that was central to Holy Stars’ defensive solidity and clean-sheet triumph.

The 1-0 victory gives Basake Holy Stars another valuable three points as they continue their campaign in the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League.

While Hudson’s first-half header proved decisive, it was Author’s defensive discipline and composure that helped ensure the solitary goal was enough to settle the contest.
