Basake Holy Stars finally found their rhythm in the ongoing 2025/26 Ghana Premier League campaign, securing a remarkable 2-0 victory over defending champions, Bibiani Gold Stars at the Awulae Amihere Kpanyinli III Sports Arena in Ampain on Sunday.
It was a spirited display from the Nzema-based side, who had endured a slow start to the season but rose to the occasion in front of their home fans. Their determination and tactical discipline earned them a well-deserved first victory of the season against a formidable Bibiani Gold Stars outfit.
The breakthrough came in the 38th minute when forward Prince Opoku calmly converted from the penalty spot after Prince Tweneboah was brought down inside the box. The goal injected confidence into the Holy Stars, who began to dominate possession and dictate the tempo of the game.
Just five minutes later, Tweneboah turned scorer himself, doubling the lead with a sensational curler inside the box that left the Bibiani goalkeeper Emmanuel Kobi with no chance. The strike drew loud cheers from the home supporters and sealed an emphatic first-half performance for the hosts.
Basake Holy Stars maintained composure in the second half, thwarting every attempt by Gold Stars to stage a comeback. The defensive pairing stood firm, while the midfield controlled proceedings with impressive work rate and composure.
The victory marks a significant turning point for Basake Holy Stars, who will look to build on this momentum as the season progresses. It also serves as a statement of intent-that the Nzema-based side can stand toe-to-toe with the league’s best.
With this win, Basake Holy Stars climb up the league table and will aim to continue their resurgence in their next fixture against Vision FC at AAK III Sports Arena.
