Young Apostles’ quest for a statement win against Medeama Sporting Club ended in disappointment as they lost 2-0 at the Wenchi Sports Stadium.
Medeama’s Emmanuel Owusu broke the deadlock in the 17th minute, and Paul Yeboah sealed the win with a second-half goal in the 62nd minute.
Medeama’s recent form has been impressive, with five wins in their last six home matches across all leagues.
Young Apostles’ struggles on the road have been a concern, with most of their away games in the Premier League ending in losses.
Despite their determination to start the new season on a high note, they failed to capitalize on their chances.
Medeama’s victory has propelled them to the top of the league table with three points, narrowly edging defending champions Bibiani Gold Stars due to goal difference.
Conversely, Young Apostles find themselves at the bottom of the table, putting pressure on coach Abu Abdul Hanan to regroup and plan for their next match.
