Nations FC staged a spirited fightback to edge Heart of Lions 2-1 in a fiercely contested Premier League clash on Saturday, extending their unbeaten home run in the top flight.
The visitors struck first through Chauncy Freeman, who found the net in the 16th minute at the Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex.
Nations restored parity before the break when defender Ruben Hennessy, under pressure, steered the ball into his own net.
The decisive moment arrived late on, with Prince Badu firing home five minutes from time to seal the comeback and hand Nations FC their fourth win of the campaign.
The result moves Nations into ninth position on 16 points, having scored 12 and conceded 11 so far this season.
Heart of Lions stay second, though their standing could shift depending on Sunday’s outcomes involving Medeama and Aduana FC, who face Berekum Chelsea and Basake Holy Stars respectively.
Nations FC travel next to face Hearts of Oak, while Heart of Lions regroup for a home meeting with Aduana as they look to get back to winning ways.
