2025/26 Ghana Premier League: Week 13 Match Report – FC Samartex 1996 2-0 Bibiani Gold Stars

FC Samartex made light work of visiting Bibiani Gold Stars in their highly-anticipated Western Derby on Sunday, December 7, 2025. 

The 2023/24 Ghana Premier League champions beat last season's winners to safeguard their unbeaten record at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena this term.

Two first-half goals in fifteen minutes helped the Timber Giants inch up to 6th in the league standings on 21 points, one point behind the visitors who remain in 4th position.

Emmanuel Kofi Essien got on the scoresheet just five minutes into the game and Emmanuel Mamah scored from the spot on 15 minutes to earn a thoroughly deserved victory for Christopher Ennin's team.

Gold Stars' poor away form continues but they will aim to bounce back when they host league-leading Medeama SC for their next match.

FC Samartex will look to build on this crucial win which ends their three-match winless streak when they travel to Basake Holy Stars.
