Simba Powers Past Samatex in 2025/26 GPL Opener

Basake Holy Stars secured a commanding 2–0 win against former Ghana Premier League champions FC Samatex in a Matchday 14 clash at the AAK II Sports Arena on Sunday.

Riding the wave of a recent 1-0 victory over Asante Kotoko and a respectable draw against league leaders Aduana Stars, Holy Stars carried that momentum into their home fixture. Their confidence stemmed from a focused approach, which quickly translated onto the scoreboard.

Simba Sylvester emerged as the hero of the match, netting both goals in the first half. His initial strike alleviated early tension for the home team, while his second goal capitalized on relentless pressure and positive attacking football.

FC Samatex, despite their own good form heading into the game, found themselves struggling to contain Holy Stars’ energy, especially in the midfield battle. Attempts to mount a comeback in the second half were consistently thwarted by a well-organized Holy Stars defense.

With this victory, Basake Holy Stars continue to demonstrate their impressive form, having now won three of their last five matches, with only one defeat. This performance firmly establishes them as a team to watch as the season progresses, and sends a clear message to their opponents, according to supporters at the stadium.

The technical team, while pleased with the result, acknowledges the need to maintain focus and consistency as they look ahead to upcoming matches.
