FC Samartex 1996 secured a 2-0 win over Legon Cities at the Tubu Astro Turf on Sunday, with Emmanuel Mamah scoring a brace.
The Timber Giants dominated the match, scoring one goal in each half to secure their second win of the season against the Royals.
Mamah opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, giving Samartex the lead.
He doubled the advantage in the 67th minute, sealing the win for the defending champions.
This victory moves Samartex to 8th place in the league standings with 38 points.
Legon Cities, on the other hand, failed to capitalize on their chances and suffered their third defeat in five matches.
They currently sit in 17th position with 22 points, six points behind 15th-placed Karela United.
The Royals are desperate for points to escape the drop as they look to bounce back when they face Basake Holy Stars in their next match.
Meanwhile, Samartex will aim to make it three straight wins when they host Karela United, seeking a strong finish to their campaign.
