Nations FC produced a commanding performance to reclaim top spot in the Premier League with a resounding 4-1 victory over relegation-threatened Legon Cities at the University of Ghana Stadium on Monday.
The visitors took the lead in the 28th minute through Kelvin Ampoful, who latched onto a defensive lapse to calmly slot the ball past the Legon Cities goalkeeper. Despite their struggles this season, the hosts found a response before halftime when Rabin Ousmane Sanon inadvertently turned the ball into his own net in the 40th minute, restoring parity.
But the second half belonged to Nations FC, who dominated proceedings and displayed their title credentials with ruthless efficiency.
Emmanuel Annor restored Nations’ lead in the 64th minute, capitalizing on sustained pressure in the final third. With just eight minutes left on the clock, Sadiq Alhassan extended the advantage with a well-taken goal to put the result beyond doubt. Ampoful then returned to seal his brace late on, wrapping up a superb team display and adding gloss to the scoreline.
The result lifts Nations FC to 57 points, putting them back at the summit of the league table with only three matches remaining in the season. Their title charge remains firmly on course as they look to fend off close challengers in the final stretch.
For Legon Cities, the defeat deepens their woes. Firmly entrenched in the relegation zone, their survival hopes now hinge on nothing short of a miracle. With time running out, the Royals face a daunting battle to preserve their Premier League status.
