Accra Hearts of Oak continued their impressive start to the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League season with a 2-1 comeback victory over Bibiani Gold Stars on Sunday.
The Phobians went into the break trailing after Gold Stars took the lead in the first half. Hearts, however, returned stronger after the interval, producing a spirited second-half performance to turn the game around and secure all three points.
Black Stars goalkeeper Benjamin Asare was also instrumental in preserving the victory, saving a penalty in the 90th minute to deny Gold Stars a late opportunity to level the score.
The result underlines Hearts’ strong start to the campaign after their emphatic 4-0 victory over Berekum Chelsea on Matchday One.
The victory takes Hearts back to the top of the league table with six points, level with FC Samartex, who also maintained their 100 percent record with a 1-0 away victory over Aduana Stars.
At the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, Kumasi Asante Kotoko recorded their first win of the season after beating Kpando Hearts of Lions 2-1.
The victory ended Kotoko’s long wait for a win over the Lions, with their previous victory against them coming in 2015.
The three points take the Porcupine Warriors to four points following their disappointing opening-day draw against league debutants Debibi United.
Other results saw Ashgold beat Vision FC 3-1, while Swedru All Blacks defeated Debibi United 1-0.
Young Apostles also recorded a 1-0 win over Basake Holy Stars, with Karela United beating Bechem United 3-1. Berekum Chelsea defeated Dreams FC 3-1, while FC Samartex secured a 1-0 win away at Aduana Stars.
