Bibiani GoldStars produced a dramatic late comeback to secure a 2-1 victory over Heart of Lions in Kpando on Sunday their Ghana Premier League week 23 clash, boosting their title ambitions in stunning fashion.<\/p>\n

GoldStars are now just three points behind leaders Medeama\u2019s 45 while Lions are on 30 points in 8th.<\/p>\n

The hosts made a bright start and were rewarded in the 36th minute when Seedorf Asante broke the deadlock. The forward capitalised on a defensive lapse to fire Heart of Lions into a 1-0 lead, sending the home supporters into celebration.<\/p>\n

Lions controlled large spells of the first half and carried their slender advantage into the break, frustrating the defending champions chasing crucial points at the summit.<\/p>\n

The visitors, however, emerged from halftime with renewed urgency. Their persistence paid off in the 76th minute as Samuel Attah Kumi found the equaliser, restoring parity and setting up a tense finale.<\/p>\n

With momentum swinging in their favour, Gold Stars pushed forward relentlessly in search of a winner.<\/p>\n

Deep into stoppage time, Godfred Arthur delivered the decisive blow. Striking in the 95th minute, he silenced the home crowd and completed a remarkable turnaround for the visitors.<\/p>\n

Gold Stars will now turn attention to a heavyweight showdown against Hearts of Oak, while Heart of Lions travel to face Holy Stars in their next fixture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
