In the 27th week of the 2023-24 Ghana Premier League, Asante Kotoko clinched a crucial victory against league leaders FC Samartex 1996 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium. This win marks the end of a challenging seven-match winless streak for the Porcupine Warriors. A second-half penalty by Enoch Morrison secured the vital three points, propelling Kotoko above their arch-rivals Hearts of Oak in the standings and away from the relegation zone.

Despite suffering a defeat, FC Samartex 1996 remains at the top of the league table with a five-point lead, benefiting from Nations FC also dropping points in their match against Heart of Lions.

In other league action, Accra Hearts of Oak was unable to build on their previous victory over Karela United, falling 2-0 to Legon Cities at Dawu Park. Albert Yeboah was the standout performer, scoring both goals for Legon Cities, thus bolstering their chances of escaping relegation.

Meanwhile, Nsoatreman FC secured a 2-1 win against the last-placed Real Tamale United, significantly dampening the latter's hopes of staying up. Mohammed Mankuyeli opened the scoring, but it was Collins Cudjoe's late brace that sealed the victory for Nsoatreman FC.

The relegation battle heated further as Heart of Lions posted a decisive 3-0 win over Nations FC at the Kpando Sports Stadium. Goals from Mohaison Mahmoud, Akwasi Bentil, and Nana Kwame Oppong provided a lifeline for the Lions, who are still facing relegation fears but have improved their standings.

In other results, Bofoakwa Tano was held to a 1-1 draw by Bechem United at Sunyani Coronation Park, a setback in their quest for better league placement.

As the league progresses, the battle for supremacy and survival continues to keep fans on the edge of their seats. With just a few weeks left in the season, every match and point becomes increasingly significant.
