At the Swedru Sports Stadium on Sunday afternoon, Richmond Opoku’s late strike sealed a vital 1-0 win for Young Apostles over Eleven Wonders, who are still searching for their first victory in the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League.
The match was an evenly contested affair, with both teams struggling to break down their opponent’s defense in the first half.
Eleven Wonders goalkeeper J Baah was called into action early, making an incredible save to deny Young Apostles the opening goal, keeping his side in the game.
Eleven Wonders responded shortly after, with Afarupoe coming close to scoring, but his effort was off target. As the first half progressed, both teams became more cautious, knowing the importance of avoiding costly mistakes at the back. By the break, the match remained goalless.
After halftime, Young Apostles made a key tactical change, replacing Dhaud Thuair with Richmond Opoku. The substitute had an immediate impact, adding fresh energy to the attack. With just three minutes left on the clock, Opoku made the most of a well-worked move, finishing coolly to give Young Apostles the lead.
Despite Eleven Wonders’ efforts to respond, the late goal from Opoku proved to be the match-winner, as the visitors held on to secure all three points. This victory continues Young Apostles’ strong start to the season, while Eleven Wonders remain without a win in their opening four matches.
With this result, Young Apostles move closer to the top half of the standings, while Eleven Wonders are left to regroup as they face another tough test in their next fixture.
