18th November 2024
Newly promoted Young Apostles delivered a remarkable performance to secure a 1-0 victory over defending champions FC Samartex at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena on Sunday, November 17, 2024.
This impressive result ended Samartex's unbeaten home streak that had persisted since March 2024.
The decisive goal came early in the second half, with Samuel Prempeh capitalizing on a rare defensive lapse in the 48th minute.
His precise strike was enough to secure the three points for Young Apostles, propelling them to 10th place in the Ghana Premier League standings with 13 points.
Despite dominating possession, FC Samartex struggled to break down a resolute Young Apostles defense.
The visitors, who played with renewed determination following the departure of head coach Asare Bediako, demonstrated exceptional resilience under sustained pressure from the Timber Giants throughout the match.
The defeat drops Samartex to 6th position with 17 points. Head coach Amadu will aim to rally his team as they prepare for their next match against Basake Holy Stars.
Young Apostles, meanwhile, return to Wenchi bolstered by this crucial win and will look to build on their success when they host Medeama SC in their upcoming fixture.
