Aduana Stars made their home advantage count after beating Tamale City in matchday 25 of the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.
The fire boys who have been in dismal form in recent games inflicted a 1-0 win over Tamale City to return to winning ways.
Despite creating numerous goal scoring opportunities, both teams were unable to find the back of the net in the first half at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park in Dormaa.
The much-anticipated game seems to have ended in a goalless draw but Aduana Stars proved their worth and grabbed the match-winner in the dyeing embers of the game.
Isaac Mintah struck late to hand the Dormaa-based club the three maximum points to put their Ghana Premier League title challenge on course.
His goal ensured Aduana Stars are back to winning ways after sharing the spoils with Berekum Chelsea in mid-week.
Aduana Stars remains at the summit of the Ghana Premier League with 44 points whiles Tamale City drops to the relegation drop after 25 matches. They sit 16th on the league standings with 28 points.
