Nafiu Sulemana opened the scoring account for Abrankese-based side before In-form Faisal Charwetey doubled the lead to seal the win and got his sixth goal in the last four league games he's featured in.
Nations FC after the vital win have now climbed up to the league log with 22 points and are looking to also continue with their recent winning streak.
However, Berekum Chelsea also in a regional derby, suffered a narrow and shocking 1-2 loss to Bechem United at the Golden City Park.
The Bibires had starman Stephen Amankona on the scoresheet but wasn't enough to cancel out Boa-At Regain's double which handed all three points to the visitors.
