Hohoe United End Winless Run with Gritty Home Victory Over Nations FC
Hohoe United breathed new life into their survival fight after edging Nations FC 2-1 in a tense Ghana Premier League encounter at the Hohoe Sports Stadium on Sunday.
The hosts made a blistering start, catching Nations cold with two early goals that set the tone for the afternoon. William Oduro broke the deadlock in the seventh minute with a composed finish, before Lawson Bekui added a second just four minutes later to put Hohoe firmly in control.
Nations FC slowly settled into the contest and found a response before the interval, with Raymond Oko Grippman pulling one back in the 36th minute to reduce the deficit and spark hopes of a comeback.
The second half saw the visitors push aggressively for an equaliser, applying sustained pressure and committing numbers forward. However, Hohoe United stood firm, showing organisation and resilience at the back to protect their slim advantage.
The victory ends Hohoe’s eight-game winless streak and provides a crucial morale boost as they battle to stay in the top flight. It also reignites belief within the squad as they look to build momentum in the closing stages of the season.
For Nations FC, the loss compounds their struggles away from home, with the club still searching for their first road win of the campaign. They will aim to bounce back when they host Dreams FC in their next fixture.
Hohoe United now turn their attention to a tough away trip against title contenders Aduana Stars, knowing another positive result could significantly strengthen their survival bid.
