Heart of Lions stretched their unbeaten run to six as they defeated reigning GPL Champions FC Samartex 1-0 at the Nsenkyire Arena on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024.

Kumasi Asante Kotoko emerged victorious against Hearts of Oak in the 115th league meeting between the two sides.

It was the first league outing for Kotoko at the Baba Yara Stadium this season, and the fans showed up in their numbers to support their team’s victory.
Kotoko moves to fifth on the league table with 21 points while the Phobians drop to seventh on the league table with 19 points.It was a five-goal thriller at the Nii Adjei Kraku Sports Complex when Vision FC narrowly edged Medeama SC.
Goals from Emmanuel Kyei, Joshua Rhule, and Abora Duku ensured Vision FC ended their three-game losing streak to record their third victory in their debut season.
Bernadinho Tetteh and Michel Sarpong scored a goal each for Medeama but could only serve as a consolation.
