  "account": "In a pivotal Week 2 fixture, Medeama SC have claimed the top spot in the Ghana Premier League table with a 1-0 victory over Port City FC. Kelvin Nkrumah, the defending champions' key player, secured the winning goal in first-half stoppage time, giving Medeama a crucial three points and elevating their points tally to eight. The match saw a cautious first half, but Nkrumah broke the deadlock in the second minute of added time, securing the lead before the break. Port City faced a challenging task in the second half, struggling to mount a response after losing a man to discipline in the 71st minute. Medeama's strong performance in the closing stages ensured they walked away with all three points, putting them at the very top of the league table, while Port City dropped to fifth place following their first defeat of the season. The win will undoubtedly motivate Medeama as they continue their journey through the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League season.",
