Basake Holy Stars recorded their first victory of the 2025-26 Ghana Premier League campaign with an impressive 2-0 win over reigning champions Bibiani GoldStars at the AAK Sports Arena in Ampain on Sunday.
After eight games without a win, the hosts finally came alive in front of their home fans, producing a commanding first-half display that sealed all three points before the break.
Prince Opoku opened the scoring for Holy Stars in the 36th minute, finishing off a well-worked team move that left the GoldStars defence flat-footed.
Four minutes later, Prince Tweneboah doubled the lead with a composed effort, sending the home supporters into celebration for the first time this season, as their side took a 2-0 advantage into halftime.
GoldStars, who came into the game unbeaten in their last four matches, struggled to impose themselves and were second-best for much of the contest.
Despite a few second-half chances, the visitors could not find a way past a resolute Holy Stars defence, which stood firm to protect their first clean sheet of the season.
The result ends Holy Stars’ eight-game winless streak and lifts morale in Ampain, while GoldStars’ inconsistent away form continues to be a major concern for the Miners.
