Bechem United secure a dramatic 2-1 victory over Samartex

Bechem United secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over FC Samartex 1996 at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park to maintain their perfect home record in the 2026-27 Ghana Premier League campaign.

The Hunters made the most of their home advantage, scoring a stoppage-time winner through substitute Dennis Modzaka to claim all three points in an entertaining matchday 10 encounter.

Bechem started brightly and were rewarded for their attacking efforts in the 39th minute when Augustine Okrah opened the scoring.

Kelvin Appiah provided the assist with an excellent pass to pick out Okrah, who showed his composure in front of goal to slot the ball home and give the hosts a deserved 1-0 lead.

Samartex, however, returned from the break with renewed determination and restored parity in the 57th minute through Gabriel Osei.

The equaliser gave the Timber Giants renewed hope as they pushed for a positive result against a Bechem side that had won all four of their previous home matches this season.

With the game seemingly heading towards a draw, Bechem found a decisive breakthrough deep into stoppage time.

Substitute Dennis Modzaka proved to be the match-winner, capitalising on his opportunity in the 90th minute plus five to fire past the Samartex goalkeeper and send the home supporters into celebration.

The late strike secured a crucial victory for the Hunters, extending their winning streak at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park to five matches in the league this season.

The defeat represents a setback for Samartex in their pursuit of maintaining their position at the top of the league standings after an otherwise impressive start to the campaign.

The result also underlines Bechem’s impressive home form, with the Hunters continuing to make their stadium a difficult venue for visiting teams.
