Nations FC took a giant stride towards clinching their first-ever Ghana Premier League title with a commanding 3-0 win over defending champions FC Samartex 1996 at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex on Sunday.
The much-anticipated clash saw the home side come to life in the second half, scoring three unanswered goals in a clinical display that extended their lead at the top of the table to three points, with just two matches left to play.
After a tense and goalless first half, the breakthrough came in the 60th minute when Emmanuel Annor fired home, sending the home fans into raptures and igniting a wave of dominance that Samartex struggled to contain.
That momentum was rewarded again in the 75th minute when Faisal Charwetey calmly converted a penalty, before Kelvin Ampoful put the result beyond doubt with a composed finish in the 82nd minute.
The victory was not only emphatic, it was symbolic. It marked Nations FC’s fifth straight home win without conceding, a streak that underscores their title credentials and growing belief in what could be a season for the ages.
“It’s a massive win, but we know the job isn’t finished,” a jubilant Nations FC fan told local reporters after the final whistle. “We’re so close, we can taste it.”
With two games remaining and momentum firmly on their side, Nations FC stand on the brink of history. A maiden league title is within reach, and Sunday’s result may well go down as the moment their dream turned into destiny.
