Bibiani Gold Stars secured their passage to the next phase of the MTN FA Cup after edging Basake Holy Stars 1-0 in a fiercely contested encounter at the Awulae Amihere Kpanyinli III Sports Arena in Ampain.
The Miners were forced to weather sustained pressure from the spirited hosts, holding their defensive shape with discipline before finally carving out the game’s decisive moment.
The breakthrough arrived through former Holy Stars winger Emmanuel Agyei, who delivered a moment of pure quality, coolly slotting home the match-winner to mute the vibrant home supporters. His dynamic performance, marked by relentless pressing and intelligent link-up play, earned him the Man of the Match accolade and highlighted his growing influence within the Gold Stars setup.
With their cup mission accomplished, Bibiani Gold Stars now pivot their attention to the Ghana Premier League, where they face a stern challenge against 7th-placed Samartex on December 7.
Basake Holy Stars, on the other hand, must regroup swiftly as they prepare for another demanding assignment on the same day against Aduana FC.
