In the closely contested Premier League match held on September 8, 2024, at 15:00 EEST, Basake Holy Stars FC edged out Accra Hearts of Oak SC with a narrow 1-0 victory. The match's decisive moment came in the 26th minute when Basake Holy Stars scored the only goal, capitalizing on a brief lapse in the home team's defense. This lapse was followed immediately by two yellow cards to Hearts of Oak, indicating their rising frustration and subsequent lack of discipline, which significantly hampered their coordination and effectiveness thereafter.

Despite Hearts of Oak's offensive efforts, as evidenced by their nine corner kicks compared to Basake Holy Stars' two, their ability to convert these set-piece opportunities into goals was notably inefficient. The home team's four offside infringements further underscored their struggle to maintain coherence and timing in their attacking plays. On the other hand, Basake Holy Stars' disciplined defense allowed only one offside violation, showcasing superior coordination in their defensive lines.

Both teams displayed physical aggression, each accruing two yellow cards; however, the timing of Hearts of Oak’s cards seemed to destabilize them early in the match. Substitution strategies were crucial, though both teams managed to avoid the crucial turning points that substitution impacts often provide, focusing instead on tactical adjustments on the field. Ultimately, the disciplined defensive structure and early goal provided Basake Holy Stars with an edge, securing them a vital away victory despite lower offensive metrics.
