Nations FC recorded a spirited 2-1 comeback victory over Heart of Lions at the Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex on Saturday to extend their unbeaten home run in the Premier League.
The visitors struck first through Chauncy Freeman in the 16th minute, capitalising on early pressure in Abrankese. Nations FC, however, stayed composed and found a route back before the break when a low delivery caused trouble in the Lions’ box, leading to Ruben Hennessy deflecting the ball into his own net.
The hosts, who had endured a difficult spell in recent weeks but remained solid at home with three wins and three draws coming into this fixture, showed greater urgency after half-time. Their resilience was rewarded in the 85th minute when Prince Badu reacted sharply inside the area to drive home the decisive goal and complete a much-needed turnaround.
The victory marks Nations FC’s fourth win of the campaign, lifting them to 9th with 16 points. They have now scored 12 goals and conceded 11 after 13 matches, and their home form continues to provide a strong foundation as they look to climb the standings under Frimpong Manso.
Heart of Lions arrived in confident mood following an impressive unbeaten run that placed them second on the table, boasting one of the league’s best attacks and most disciplined defences. While they remain in that position for now, their hold is under pressure. Results involving Medeama against Berekum Chelsea and Aduana FC against Basake Holy Stars on Sunday could shift the picture at the summit.
For Nations FC, this result brings renewed momentum and stability at a crucial stage of the season.
