Swedru All Blacks snapped their three-game losing streak in style with a commanding 2-0 victory over Basake Holy Stars in their Week 6 Premier League match at the Swedru Sports Stadium on Sunday.
Benjamin Adjei opened the scoring in the 6th minute, calmly slotting home after a swift attacking move that sliced through the Holy Stars’ defence.
All Blacks maintained their momentum after the break and doubled their lead in the 49th minute, as Hafiz Alhassan reacted quickest to a loose ball inside the penalty area to make it 2-0 and effectively seal the points.
The home side dominated proceedings, enjoying 59% possession and creating several chances — registering 13 total shots, with six on target. Holy Stars struggled to find rhythm throughout, managing just four shots, only one of which forced a save from the goalkeeper.
Despite a late push, the visitors, who were reduced to ten men, could not recover as the Black and White secured a deserved and much-needed win in front of their fans.
The result lifts Swedru All Blacks out of their recent slump and provides a confidence boost ahead of their next tough fixture away to Medeama SC. Basake Holy Stars, meanwhile, will aim to regroup quickly when they travel to face Heart of Lions in their upcoming match.
