Surprise Ghana Premier League leaders, Bibiani Gold Stars, on Sunday, October 27, defied the odds to pip giants, Accra Hearts of Oak 1-0 at the University of Ghana Stadium to maintain their lead atop the standings.

Not even a controversial penalty awarded the Phobians in the 76th minute could salvage the day for the beleaguered hosts as man of the match, Emmanuel Kobi, in post for Gold Stars, again saved Hamza Issah's poorly taken spot kick.
