At the Nsenkyire Sports Arena on Sunday, December 10, 2023, Samartex FC orchestrated a remarkable ascent to the league’s pinnacle with a resounding 2-0 triumph over bottom-dwellers Heart of Lions.
The Timber Giants asserted their dominance with two second-half goals courtesy of Emmanuel Mamah and Evans Osei-Wusu, securing an unblemished home record and a two-point lead at the summit of the league standings.
Emmanuel Mamah seized the moment just after the break, slotting home on the 47th minute to break the deadlock, while Evans Osei-Wusu amplified their lead, ensuring a comfortable advantage. Despite a spirited effort from the visitors, Samartex FC showcased their superiority on their home turf, capitalizing on defeats suffered by Aduana and Nsoatreman against their respective matchday 14 opponents.
Notably, this victory marked Samartex FC’s maiden triumph away from home, a testament to their growing prowess. However, their grip on the top spot hinges on their performances beyond the confines of Samreboi.
Meanwhile, Heart of Lions languish at the bottom of the standings, persisting in their quest for that elusive first win of the campaign. As they continue to navigate through challenges, the Lions fervently seek to turn their fortunes around in upcoming fixtures.
Samartex FC’s commanding display against Heart of Lions not only propelled them to the league’s summit but also served notice of their intent to challenge for top honors, setting the stage for an intriguing season ahead.
