2026/27: Medeama suffer first defeat as Aduana, Kotoko return to winning ways

Aduana FC and Asante Kotoko reclaimed their winning streaks in a chaotic Matchday 7 of the Ghana Premier League, while Medeama SC suffered their maiden loss of the season. Dreams FC managed a dramatic stoppage-time draw against Port City, while Debibi United broke free from the relegation zone with a crucial home victory. FC Samartex 1996 secured a tense 2-1 win over Medeama at the Nsenkyire Arena, with Christian Agyenim netting a last-minute winner.

Despite the loss, Medeama hold the top spot with 14 points, tied with Hearts of Oak and Samartex after seven matches. Asante Kotoko also bounced back from a loss, defeating Young Apostles 2-1 at the Baba Yara Stadium. Hubert Gyau put them ahead in the 70th minute, followed by Solomon Nsor Asaah's second in the 78th minute. Huziaf Iddrisu pulled one back with a late free-kick for Young Apostles, who remain in the relegation zone.

Aduana FC rebounded from a previous defeat to secure a 1-0 win over FC AshantiGold 04 at the Nana Agyeman Badu I Park. Abubakar Adams scored the decisive goal in the 40th minute, as AshantiGold's hopes of an equalizer faded after Akwasi Afari's red card. Dreams FC, now bottom of the table, put up a fight with Port City, with Samuel Aryee Baadu scoring the equalizer in stoppage time.

Swedru All Blacks continued their impressive home record with a 2-0 win over Karela United, while Basake Holy Stars maintained their perfect home record with a 1-0 victory over Bechem United. Debibi United's win against Bibiani Gold Stars also provided a much-needed morale boost for the young club.
