Medeama Held as Title Race Tightens
Medeama SC’s advantage at the top of the Ghana Premier League standings narrowed after they were held to a goalless draw by Swedru All Blacks at the Swedru Sports Stadium on Sunday.
In a tense contest with few clear scoring opportunities, both sides struggled for cutting edge in attack and ultimately settled for a point each. The result keeps the Tarkwa-based club top with 46 points, but their lead has now shrunk to just one point.
