Swedru All Blacks salvaged a dramatic late point, holding Nations FC to a 1-1 draw in their Ghana Premier League matchday 18 clash at the Swedru Sports Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The visitors seemed destined for a valuable away win when Suweidu Suhuyini Sulemana broke the deadlock in the 82nd minute. Sulemana capitalised on a rare defensive lapse, finishing calmly to put Nations ahead and temporarily lift them out of the relegation zone.
However, the Black Magicians refused to concede defeat. Pushing numbers forward in the closing moments, they were rewarded deep into stoppage time when referee pointed to the spot following a foul inside the area. Defender Zayat Bubakari stepped up and kept his composure to convert the penalty, sparking wild celebrations among the home fans.
The point extends All Blacks’ resilient run and reinforces their fighting spirit as they continue to climb away from relegation danger. For Nations FC, the draw will feel like two points lost, particularly given their struggles on the road and how close they came to securing a crucial victory.
Both sides remain entrenched in the relegation battle as the Ghana Premier League season intensifies.
