The Ghana Premier League title race has taken another thrilling twist as Asante Kotoko SC reignited their championship ambitions with a vital win, while league leaders Bibiani Goldstars SC suffered a shock 2-0 defeat at the hands of relegation-threatened Vision FC.
Asante Kotoko’s latest triumph, following Matchweek 29, puts them level on 50 points with Heart of Lions FC and just three points behind league leaders Goldstars. With a goal difference of +8, Kotoko’s strong home form—tied for the highest home wins (11)—continues to be a decisive factor in their campaign.
Meanwhile, Bibiani Goldstars, who had been enjoying a consistent run at the top, were stunned by Vision FC, who claimed a crucial 2-0 win. This loss not only dents Goldstars’ title hopes but also shakes the top of the table, where Nations FC (51 pts) and Heart of Lions FC (50 pts) remain hot on their heels.
Vision FC’s victory has significant implications at the other end of the table. With the three points, Vision FC now move to 36 points, climbing out of the relegation zone and pushing Accra Lions FC and Karela United FC closer to the drop zone. It’s a massive result for Vision, whose goal difference has also improved to -5, giving them a crucial buffer in the final weeks of the season.

Other notable names in the hunt include Joseph Esso (Dreams FC) with 9 goals, while Asante Kotoko’s Andrews Amoah and Holy Stars’ Twene Boah P. each have 8. A group of players sits on 7 goals, including Abban E. (Bechem United), Mamah E. (Samartex), Mamudu K. (Medeama), and Opoku K. (Kotoko).
