Salim Adams delivered a commanding midfield masterclass to earn the NASCO Man of the Match award as Medeama Sporting Club edged Accra Hearts of Oak 1–0 in a pulsating GPL encounter at the TnA Stadium.

The industrious midfielder was at the heart of everything good for the Mauve and Yellows, dictating tempo, breaking opposition lines, and providing leadership throughout the contest. His influential performance was crowned in the 75th minute when he struck the decisive goal — a composed finish that proved enough to secure all three points.

Scoring against his former club, Salim’s goal carried added significance, yet his celebration reflected professionalism and focus, underlining his commitment to Medeama’s ambitions this season.

Speaking during the post-match interview, Salim expressed his delight at the victory and the collective effort behind it.

“It’s always a good feeling to help the team win, especially in a big game like this. Beating Hearts means a lot to us as a group, and I’m happy I could contribute with the goal,” he said.

The victory keeps Medeama firmly top of the GPL table, while Salim’s performance once again highlighted his growing importance in Coach Ibrahim Tanko’s setup — combining tactical intelligence, discipline, and decisive impact.
