The team celebrated this milestone with a thrilling 1-0 victory over Wa Power FC, courtesy of Slyvester Biyandail’s decisive 85th-minute goal.
The match, originally scheduled for Saturday, was postponed due to heavy rain. Nevertheless, the wait was worth it, as Sankara Nationals’ midfield maestro Mohammed Salis delivered a stellar performance, earning him the MVP award.

Head Coach Mohammed Bashiru, also known as Joe Baah, praised his team for their achievement, acknowledging Wa Power’s skill and maturity. “Wa Power are a very good side with matured players,” he said. “We realized they were passing the ball well, but at this level, it’s not about possession – it’s about securing those 3 points.”
