1. Did Young Apostles deny Atta Poku entry to Wenchi Town Park?

Aduana FC suffered their first defeat in four after recording three successive victories, which aided them in moving into the top 4. The game against Apostles in Wenchi was a Bono affair, but the three points were so precious to both sides. Samuel Prempeh’s penalty in additional minutes of the first half sealed the victory for Young Apostles. On Atta Poku, the C.E.O of Aduana Stars’ Facebook wall, in the middle of the crucial encounter, the experienced sports broadcaster posted a picture of himself standing on the sand outside the stadium to see the match. The message was that Young Apostles had denied him entry to the venue, which later became talk on social media throughout Sunday night. However, the Wenchi-based Young Apostles have denied the allegation by accusing Atta Poku of lying.

2. It was a good day for home teams – 9/9

All home teams recorded victory for the first time this season. No away team was able to steal a single point, with Young Apostles, Sweduru All Blacks, Hearts of Oak, Karela, and FC AshantiGold all securing 1-0 wins over their visitors. Berekum Chelsea recorded the heaviest win after smashing Debibi United 3-0. There was a goal fest at Bechem where Vision lost 4-2 against Bechem United. Medeama won 3-1 with a great performance in the first half.

3. Medeama shows title credentials

The Yellow and Mauve still top the league log after defeating Heart of Lions 3-1, with a brace from Kelvin Braye and a goal from Emmanuel Annor, a former Nations FC striker. The victory was Medeama’s fourth consecutive after drawing the first two games. The Tarkwa-based club are three points ahead of second-placed Hearts of Oak and are showing signs of champions.

4. Nebojsa Kapor bemoans poor quality of pitches in Ghana

Phobia returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Port City at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium. Instead of the attention being on the club’s return to winning ways after failing to record a victory in weeks three, four and five, the attention switched to the poor pitch the game was played on. “Ghana has a serious problem with the pitches”, the Bosnian gaffer said. Hearst of Oak is little by little being moved away from the Accra Sports Stadium by the authorities. Phobia’s 1-0 win over Port City sent them to the second position on the table.

5. Sweduru All Blacks becomes a bogey side for Kotoko

When Sweduru All Blacks returned to the topflight in the 2025-26 season, the entire community celebrated like it was a Christmas party. They knew they deserved a slot at the top flight; they had missed the Ghana Premier League. They started marking their calendars for the visit of Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak, the two glamorous clubs in Ghana. All Blacks defeated Kotoko at home and away last season and have continued this season with a 1-0 win over the Porcupine Warriors. A 94th-minute penalty from Eric Wiafe Darkwa condemned Kotoko to second defeat of the season. Asante Kotoko sits in 12th position trailing leaders Medeama by six points after matchday six.
