Heart of Lions produce a dramatic comeback to beat Young Apostles

Heart of Lions staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Young Apostles 2-1 in a thrilling Ghana Premier League match at the Nana Abrefa Nketia VII Stadium in Wenchi. Apostles took the lead just four minutes into the game, with Samuel Prempeh finding the net. This early goal provided a perfect platform for the home side, who had just suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to Debibi United in their previous match.

However, Lions gradually settled into the contest and managed to equalize after the break through Francis Odoom, who scored from the penalty spot, making the score 1-1. Despite facing a setback when Abdul Jalilu was shown a red card in the 65th minute, Lions continued to push for a winner despite playing with ten men. Their persistence paid off in the 95th minute when Mustapha Yakubu scored to complete a remarkable turnaround and secure a 2-1 victory for the visitors.

The result is a significant boost for Lions, who had been searching for their first win of the 2026/27 season. Apostles, on the other hand, will be disappointed with their failure to capitalize on their early advantage and the numerical superiority they enjoyed after Jalilu's dismissal.
