Nations FC produced a confident display on Friday night to defeat Eleven Wonders 2-0 at the Swedru Sports Stadium, handing the hosts another damaging blow in the Ghana Premier League.
Goals from Joseph Effah and Emmanuel Annor ensured the visitors claimed maximum points, moving them up to eighth in the standings as they attempt to climb further up the table.
The breakthrough arrived almost immediately. Just four minutes into the contest, Effah met a delivery inside the box and powered home a header to give Nations the perfect start and stun the home supporters.
Eleven Wonders tried to steady themselves after the early setback, but they struggled to break down a well-drilled Nations side that looked composed in possession and threatening on the counterattack.
While the hosts showed urgency, clear-cut chances were hard to come by.
Nations eventually put the result beyond doubt in stoppage time. In the 93rd minute, Annor latched onto a through ball, rounded the advancing goalkeeper and calmly finished into an unguarded net to wrap up an assured performance.
The victory is particularly significant for Nations FC as it marks their first win away from home this season. In contrast, the loss deepens Eleven Wonders troubles, it is now their sixth consecutive defeat and their 18th of the campaign overall.
With only nine points collected from 24 matches, Wonders remain entrenched in the relegation zone and face a daunting battle to preserve their top-flight status. For Nations, however, the result represents a timely response and renewed momentum in their league campaign.
