Nations FC brought Medeama SC’s impressive 17-game unbeaten run to a halt with a hard-fought 2-1 victory on Friday afternoon at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex in Abrankese.
The Matchday 21 encounter saw the league leaders take an early lead when in-form striker Kingsley Braye powered home a fine header in the 8th minute, connecting perfectly with Fatawu Sulemana’s well-delivered corner to put the Mauve and Yellow ahead.
Nations FC, however, responded with determination, led by an inspired performance from captain Razak Simpson. The centre-back restored parity in the 19th minute, rising above his markers to head home from a corner and beat goalkeeper Felix Kyei.
Just before the interval, Simpson completed a remarkable brace. Nations were awarded a penalty in the 43rd minute, and the skipper kept his composure to slot the spot kick into the bottom corner, turning the game around and sending the hosts into the break with a 2-1 advantage.
Medeama pressed hard for an equaliser after the restart, piling sustained pressure on the Nations defence, but the home side stood firm to protect their lead until the final whistle.
The defeat represents only Medeama SC’s second loss of the season and ends an unbeaten run that stretched back to September 2025. Despite the setback, Medeama remain top of the league standings with 43 points, while Nations FC climb to eighth place on 27 points.
Nations FC will look to build on this momentum when they travel to face Hohoe United, while Medeama SC host Aduana FC at the TNA Park in the Matchday 22 fixtures scheduled for next weekend.
