Bibiani Gold Stars and Hearts Oak settled for a 1-1 draw at the Dun’s Park on Sunday on match week 26 of the 2024/2025 Ghana Premier League.
The Phobians who were without first-choice goalkeeper Benjamin Asare managed to end a run of consecutive defeats thanks to Stephen Appiah’s late leveler.
The match saw a controversial moment when the referee awarded a penalty to Bibiani Gold Stars, only to rescind the decision after consulting the fourth official following protests from the Hearts of Oak bench in the second half. The decision led to heated reactions from Gold Stars players and supporters, forcing police intervention on the pitch.
Despite the setback, Gold Stars eventually broke the deadlock in the 82nd minute when Gideon Anaba converted from the spot. Just as they thought they had secured all three points, Stephen Appiah Asare struck late for Hearts of Oak to salvage a draw.
The result keeps Hearts of Oak in the top four as they prepare to face fellow top four contenders Nations FC. Bibiani Gold Stars, now second in the standings, will look to bounce back against Heart of Lions.
