Hearts of Oak Move Top of Ghana Premier League Table as Berekum Chelsea Secure First Win

Hearts of Oak have ascended to the summit of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League table following a hard-fought 2-1 comeback victory over Bibiani GoldStars. The Phobians, who have now secured two consecutive wins, demonstrated significant resilience after falling behind early in the match. Despite Kwame Poku opening the scoring for GoldStars in the 11th minute, Hearts responded emphatically in the second half. Goals from Yaw Amankwa Baafi and Henry Kwaku Boateng turned the tide, leaving GoldStars to grapple with their second successive defeat following an earlier loss to Bechem United.

Away from the matchday action, the Phobians are also navigating changes in their squad as goalkeeper Solomon Agbasi officially bid an emotional farewell to the club. The 25-year-old shot-stopper is set to join South African side Stellenbosch FC after failing to reach an agreement for a contract renewal during the transfer window. Agbasi’s departure marks the end of his tenure with the Ghanaian giants, as he transitions to the South African Premier Division to seek a new challenge following the expiration of his contract negotiations.

In another high-stakes fixture at Golden City Park, Berekum Chelsea registered their first win of the season with a commanding 3-1 triumph over Dreams FC. The Biribes established early dominance, with Abubakari Seidu finding the net just three minutes into the game, followed by a clinical strike from Jonah Attuquaye in the 16th minute. Although Dreams FC’s Abdul Razak Salifu pulled one back in the 75th minute to set up a tense finale, Marvin Owusu secured the three points for the hosts with a third goal during stoppage time.

The recent results provide significant momentum for the winning sides as the 2026/27 league season unfolds. Berekum Chelsea coach Kwaku Danso expressed his intention to build on this success in their upcoming fixture against Port City. Meanwhile, Dreams FC and Bibiani GoldStars will be desperate to regain their footing as they prepare to face each other in the next round of matches. For Hearts of Oak, maintaining their position at the top of the standings will be the primary objective as the competition intensifies.
