Early Goal Seals Samartex Victory Over Berekum Chelsea

FC Samartex 1996 bounced back strongly on home soil with a narrow 1-0 win against Berekum Chelsea in their Matchday 29 fixture of the Ghana Premier League.

Playing in front of their supporters in Samreboi, the Timber Giants wasted little time asserting themselves, grabbing the decisive goal within the opening exchanges of the contest.

Alhassan Mohammed emerged as the match-winner, calmly applying the finishing touch to a slick attacking move in just the eighth minute to hand Samartex an early advantage.

The hosts maintained control for much of the first half, dictating the tempo and keeping their opponents largely on the back foot. Berekum Chelsea, on the other hand, struggled to impose themselves, particularly in attacking areas where they lacked cutting edge.

While the home side created opportunities to extend their lead on the counter, they were unable to find a second goal.

Ultimately, Mohammed’s early effort proved enough to separate the two sides, handing Samartex a valuable three points as they continue their push for a top-four finish.

For Berekum Chelsea, the defeat compounds their struggles away from home and leaves them precariously positioned near the relegation zone as the season edges closer to its conclusion.
