Hasaacas Ladies reclaim Malta Guinness Premier League title

Hasaacas Ladies have reclaimed the Malta Guinness Premier League title following a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Ampem Darkoa Ladies on Saturday.

Hasaacas Ladies secured victory at the University of Ghana Stadium in Legon thanks to two early goals.

Veronica Baah set the tone for the Sekondi-based side, opening the scoring with a stunning strike in the 11th minute. Just three minutes later, former Ghana U-20 star Abdulai Mukarama doubled the lead, giving Hasaacas a strong advantage and setting the stage for an exciting match.

Ampem Darkoa Ladies, the defending champions, fought back valiantly. Ophelia Serwaa pulled a goal back in the 73rd minute, reigniting hopes of a comeback. Despite their efforts, they were unable to find an equaliser, and Hasaacas Ladies held on to their lead to emerge victorious.

This victory is particularly significant for Hasaacas Ladies, who had previously lost the finals to Ampem Darkoa Ladies in consecutive seasons. By reclaiming the title, they have extended their Premier League wins to six in an impressive span of 10 years.

The win also means that Hasaacas Ladies have qualified for the WAFU Women’s Championship, which is set to take place in Cote D’Ivoire later this year.
