· GhanaSoccernet

Bibiani Gold Stars staged a spirited comeback to claim a dramatic victory over Heart of Lions at the Kpando Sports Stadium on Sunday.

The defending champions looked set for a frustrating afternoon after falling behind in the first half, but second-half resilience turned the contest on its head.

Seedorf Asante fired Heart of Lions into the lead in the 36th minute, giving the hosts a deserved advantage at the break. However, the momentum shifted after the restart as Gold Stars piled on the pressure.

Samuel Atta Kumi restored parity in the 76th minute to silence the home crowd before substitute Godfred Arthur delivered the decisive blow deep into stoppage time, completing the turnaround in dramatic fashion.

The victory makes it three wins on the spin for ‘The Miners’, who climb to second place on 42 points, just three behind league leaders Medeama SC.

Despite the setback, Lions remain eighth on 30 points and will be eager to bounce back when they travel to face Basake Holy Stars in their next fixture.

Gold Stars, meanwhile, will believe a successful title defense is firmly within reach, though a stern test awaits against Hearts of Oak in their next match, who trail them by just two points.
