Ghana Premier League: Title Race Heats Up; Capital Derby Kicks Off Weekend Action

As the 2024/25 Premier League campaign enters its decisive phase, Matchday 32 promises intriguing encounters across the country. Eight matches are scheduled, beginning with a fierce capital derby on Friday and culminating in a title-defining clash on Sunday.
Hearts of Oak, buoyed by a crucial away victory over Berekum Chelsea last weekend, will look to maintain their momentum when they host Accra Lions at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, May 23. The Phobians are eager to climb further up the table, but Accra Lions will be no pushovers in this fiercely contested city showdown.
The spotlight on Sunday, May 25, falls on Bibiani, where title hopefuls Gold Stars FC host giants Asante Kotoko in the weekend’s headline fixture. The Miners, reeling from a shock home defeat to relegation-threatened Karela United, are under pressure to deliver a response. A slip-up could all but end their Premier League aspirations.
Table-toppers Nations FC welcome reigning champions FC Samartex 1996 to the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex in a clash that could shape the final standings. Nations FC, eyeing a historic league title, must overcome the resilience of Samartex to maintain their lead at the summit.
Elsewhere, Dreams FC return to the Tub Astro Turf aiming to bounce back against Berekum Chelsea, while Aduana FC take on Legon Cities at the Nana Agyemang Badu I Park in Dormaa.
In Bechem, Premier League newcomers Basake Holy Stars face a stern challenge against Bechem United at the Nana Gyeabour Park. The Holy Stars are desperate for points as they fight to stay afloat in the top flight.
At the bottom of the table, Vision FC lock horns with fellow strugglers Karela United in a must-win encounter for both sides. With the season nearing its end, this match could prove pivotal in the battle for survival.
Young Apostles, still reeling from their recent loss to Vision FC, aim to return to winning ways when they welcome a resurgent Heart of Lions side to the Wenchi Stadium. A victory would provide a timely boost as they seek to consolidate their Premier League status.

Arsenal 1-1 Manchester City: Martinelli Strikes Late to Deny Guardiola’s Men

Arsenal and Manchester City shared the spoils in a tense Premier League encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, as Gabriel Martinelli’s stoppage-time strike salvaged a 1-1 draw for the Gunners. The result leaves Arsenal unbeaten against City in recent meetings, but both sides may feel they missed a chance to make a strong statement in the title race.
City made the brighter start and struck in just the ninth minute. Tijjani Reijnders launched a rapid counterattack, combining with Erling Haaland, who finished with trademark precision past David Raya to give the visitors the lead. Arsenal, by contrast, struggled for rhythm in the first half, finding it difficult to break down City’s compact shape while also leaving themselves vulnerable on the break.
The second half saw a shift in momentum. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta introduced Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze, whose energy and creativity tilted the game in the home side’s favour. Arsenal pressed higher, dominated possession, and carved out opportunities, but City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma stood firm, making key saves to frustrate the Gunners. Pep Guardiola’s side, meanwhile, chose to sit deep and protect their narrow lead, sacrificing attacking intent in favour of defensive organisation.
Just when it seemed City’s resilience would deliver all three points, Arsenal struck back in dramatic fashion. In the third minute of stoppage time, Eze’s long ball released Martinelli, who kept his composure to lob Donnarumma and send the Emirates into raptures. The goal secured a deserved point for Arsenal, who had pressed relentlessly in search of an equaliser.
The result leaves Arsenal on 10 points from five matches, while City sit on seven. For Arsenal, the draw was a relief but also a reminder of the fine margins in top-level contests. For City, the late concession underscored lingering questions about their ability to maintain control when defending a lead. Both teams, however, remain firmly in the early title picture, and Sunday’s clash offered a glimpse of the intensity likely to define the race ahead.
