Heart of Lions continued their flawless start to the 2025\/26 Ghana Premier League season with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Bechem United at the Kpando Sports Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Michael Ephson was the hero for the home side, striking just after the hour mark to secure all three points in the week three encounter.<\/p>\n

The result means the Lions remain the only team with a 100 percent record in the league so far, winning all three of their opening games.<\/p>\n

They now sit top of the table with nine points, two points clear of second-placed Karela United.<\/p>\n

The Kpando-based side will test their unbeaten run next week when they face giants Asante Kotoko.<\/p>\n

For Bechem United, however, the struggles continue.<\/p>\n

The Hunters are yet to record a win this season, collecting just a single point from three matches.<\/p>\n

They sit 15th on the log and will be hoping to turn their fortunes around when they come up against Hearts of Oak in their next fixture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
