Swedru All Blacks defeat Young Apostles 2-1 at Wenchi Stadium

Swedru All Blacks clinched a vital 2-1 away victory against Young Apostles at the Wenchi Stadium during Matchday 8 of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League. After a tightly contested first half that ended without a goal, the visitors took control in the second period to secure all three points. The result marks the second home defeat of the season for Young Apostles, who struggled to capitalize on their home advantage against a resilient Swedru side.

The first 45 minutes were characterized by a defensive stalemate as both sides cancelled each other out. A significant moment in the opening half was an injury to the Young Apostles’ goalkeeper, which disrupted the hosts' defensive organization. Despite the setback, the game remained locked at 0-0 until the break, with both teams failing to find the decisive touch in the final third.

The deadlock was finally broken in the 55th minute when William Dankwah found the back of the net for Swedru All Blacks. Buoyed by the lead, the visitors continued to press and eventually doubled their advantage in the 82nd minute through substitute Godfred Yartey. Yartey’s clinical finish seemed to put the game out of reach for the home side as the clock ticked towards the final whistle.

Young Apostles managed to pull one goal back in the 89th minute through Illiasu, setting up a tense finish to the encounter. However, the late consolation was not enough to spark a full comeback, and Swedru All Blacks held firm to protect their lead. The win provides a significant boost for the Swedru-based club as they climb the league standings, while Young Apostles will need to address their home form to avoid slipping further down the table in the 2026/27 campaign.
