Samartex reclaimed its position at the summit of the Ghana Premier League table after a hard-fought victory against Medeama.
The Timber giants regained their two-point advantage over Nations FC, who had briefly snatched the top spot just 24 hours earlier following a 1-0 triumph over Great Olympics.
Samartex showcased their strength and determination as they overcame Medeama to secure all three points.
Goalkeeper Kofi Baah returned to the field after recovering from malaria, fortifying the team’s defence. Baba Hamadu’s return to lead the attack also provided a crucial boost for the home side.
On the other hand, Medeama coach Nebojsa Kapor opted to make strategic changes, with Kelvin Nkrumah and Diawise Taylor starting on the bench while key players like Jean Vital and Derrick Fordjour were sidelined due to injury.
However, midfielder Manuel Mantey and captain Baba Musah Abdulai recovered in time to feature in the match-day squad.
With 45 points, Samartex is now firmly at the top of the table, leading the
ir closest rival, Nations FC, by two points.
