Hasaacas Ladies Stay Perfect After Dramatic Comeback Win Over Epiphany Warriors

Hasaacas Ladies remain one of the teams to beat in the 2026/27 GoldFields Women's Premier League after completing a gutsy comeback victory against Epiphany Warriors at the Madina Astro Turf. The Takoradi-based side trailed early but showed tremendous character to turn the match around and claim a 2-1 win, keeping their unbeaten start to the season firmly intact.

How the game unfolded

Epiphany Warriors made a blistering start to the contest, taking the lead within just two minutes through Jessica Appiah Asamoah. The winger, making her first club appearance since featuring in the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco, exploited space on the right flank and created a one-on-one situation with goalkeeper Grace Banwaa before coolly slotting the ball home. The goal gave Epiphany — who had drawn both of their opening league fixtures — genuine hope of securing their first win of the campaign.

However, Hasaacas refused to be rattled. Seventeen minutes after falling behind, they were awarded a penalty and Belinda Kpoglo stepped up to restore parity. The momentum continued to swing in Hasaacas' favour, and they were rewarded again when Comfort Owusu was fouled inside the Epiphany box. Kpoglo converted once more in the 31st minute to give her side the lead — her brace proving decisive on the day. Despite showing considerable fight in the second half, Epiphany could not find the equaliser and suffered their first defeat of the season.

Why it matters for Ghana women's football

The result carries significant weight beyond just three points. Hasaacas Ladies are one of Ghana's most decorated clubs in women's football, with a proud history that includes continental campaigns in the CAF Women's Champions League. Their strong start to this season suggests they intend to be serious title contenders once again, and Kpoglo's clinical finishing from the penalty spot will be a major asset as the campaign progresses.

The appearance of Jessica Appiah Asamoah is also noteworthy. Her involvement in the U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco underscores the growing pipeline of young Ghanaian talent feeding into the domestic women's league — a positive sign for the long-term development of the women's game in the country. Seeing such players return and perform at club level helps keep the league competitive and raises its profile.

Meanwhile, Epiphany Warriors, based in Katamanso, will need to regroup quickly. Two draws and now a defeat leave them searching for a winning formula, though their intensity in the opening stages of this fixture showed they are capable of competing with the top sides.

The title race takes shape

Hasaacas' maximum nine points from three games puts them level at the top of the table with Police Ladies, who also came from behind to beat newly promoted Roots Sistaz. The two clubs appear to be setting the early pace in what could develop into a compelling title race. With both sides showing resilience and the ability to overturn deficits, the 2026/27 GoldFields Women's Premier League is shaping up to be a fiercely contested season.

All eyes will be on how Epiphany Warriors respond in their next fixture, and whether Hasaacas and Police Ladies can maintain their perfect records as the competition intensifies in the coming weeks.
