Medeama SC’s 2-0 win over Bibiani Gold Stars, driven by Salim Adams, puts them five points clear with four matches left.
Medeama SC are running out time for the chasing pack as they moved closer to GPL glory with a decisive 2-0 win over Bibiani Gold Stars.
In a high-stakes clash at Tarkwa TnA Stadium, the top two sides arrived separated by just two points, and Medeama made that margin count. Salim Adams provided the spark with a sensational brace, converting from the penalty spot before curling in a free kick to settle the game.
The win extended Medeama’s strong unbeaten home record against the Bibiani-based side, while also underlining how sharply they can turn pressure into points when the stakes rise.. By the final whistle, Medeama had stretched their lead at the summit to five points with only four matches remaining in the campaign.
Medeama also showed game management after the break, keeping their defensive shape firm and shutting down a determined Gold Stars attack.
This matters because, in a tight title race, the difference between competing and controlling often comes down to moments like Adams’ two strikes, plus the discipline to protect a lead.
