FC Samartex crowned their campaign as champions of the Ghana Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Accra Lions at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena on Sunday.
A goal in each half from Emmanuel Mamah and Ebenezer Ocran ensured the Timbers celebrated their coronation with a final-day win. The newly crowned champions wasted no time in establishing their intentions, breaking the deadlock just three minutes into the match. Mamah pounced on a deflected shot in the box to fire past Lions goalkeeper Daniel Afful.
The visitors were awakened by the quick goal as they took control of the match, dominating most of the possession in the first half but failing to find an equalizer. After the break, both sides made a couple of substitutions, with Accra Lions chasing an equalizer while Samartex sought a second goal.
Late in the game, a pass from the Accra Lions goalkeeper was intercepted by Ocran, who turned his marker Mohammed Shawkan before firing past Afful.
