Hohoe United revived their survival hopes with a hard-fought 2–1 triumph over Nations FC at the Hohoe Sports Stadium on Sunday, snapping an eight-match winless streak in the Ghana Premier League.
Needing a positive start, the hosts burst out of the blocks and seized control with two quick goals inside the opening 11 minutes. William Oduro opened the scoring with a composed finish in the seventh minute before Lawson Bekui doubled the advantage four minutes later, igniting celebrations among the home supporters in Hohoe.
The visitors gradually settled into the contest and reduced the deficit in the 36th minute when Raymond Oko Grippman found the net, setting up a tense second half with Nations FC sensing a potential comeback.
After the interval, Nations FC pressed relentlessly for an equaliser, applying sustained pressure and probing for openings. However, Hohoe United displayed impressive defensive discipline and resilience, repelling wave after wave of attacks to protect their narrow lead.
The victory delivers a significant boost to Hohoe United’s fight for top-flight survival, restoring confidence and belief within the squad at a critical stage of the season. Nations FC, meanwhile, remain without an away win this campaign and will aim to bounce back when they host Dreams FC in their next outing.
Hohoe United now prepare for a stern challenge away to title contenders Aduana Stars, knowing that another determined performance could prove vital in their battle to beat the drop.
