2025/26 Ghana Premier League: Week 12 Match Report - Basake Holy Stars 1-0 Nations FC

Basake Holy Stars continued their resurgence with a crucial 1-0 victory over Nations FC at the Ampain AAK II Sports Arena City on Sunday.

The win lifts Holy Stars out of the relegation zone, boosting their confidence as they build momentum in the Ghana Premier League.

Forward Prince Tweneboah was once again the hero, scoring for the second consecutive match as Holy Stars followed up their dramatic victory over Asante Kotoko with another important result. His decisive goal ensured that the home side capitalised on their improved form at a key moment in the campaign.

Holy Stars entered the fixture with belief after upsetting Kotoko in midweek, and they showed that energy from the outset. They enjoyed the better attacking opportunities, recording 11 total shots compared to Nations’ four. Four of Holy Stars’ efforts were on target, while Nations managed only one attempt that troubled the goalkeeper.

Despite Nations edging possession with 52 percent, the visitors struggled to create clear openings. Holy Stars applied pressure through set-pieces and wide play, registering seven corner kicks against Nations’ single corner, but their wastefulness in front of goal kept the match tight.

The breakthrough arrived in the second half when Tweneboah put the ball in the net, sending the home support into celebration. From that moment, Holy Stars maintained discipline and control to see out the match, limiting Nations’ late attempts to equalise.

This is an important victory for Basake Holy Stars, who have now recorded back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

Nations FC, despite their share of possession, will need to show more attacking urgency as they push to move back into the top half of the standings.
