Accra Hearts of Oak extended a two points lead on top of the Ghana Premier League table on Sunday evening, after recording a 2-0 win over Berekum Chelsea at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The Phobians recorded their fifth consecutive win becoming the first team to reach that remarkable feat this season.
Benjamin Afutu put Hearts in the lead in the 16th minute, heading home from a Salifu Ibrahim corner.

Just before the half hour mark, Hearts doubled their lead through Kwadwo Obeng Jnr.
On the stroke of halftime, Stephen Anokye Badu had a glorious opportunity to pull one back for the away side but his header narrowly missed the target.

Hearts were very dominant in possession in the opening minutes of the second half and defender Robert Addo nearly grabbed the third goal for the home side but his effort could only find the side net.

Berekum Chelsea responded very well with some attacking strides into the Hearts goal area but goalkeeper Richard Attah was superb for the Phobians.

Chelsea looked very organized in defence as they curtailed the attacking threat in the second half.

Substitute Patrick Razak should have scored the third goal for the Phobians in the 76th minute after he run past the goalkeeper Ernest Sowah but a good defensive clearance by Badu Anokye denied the winger.

Berekum Chelsea was the better side in the late stages of the game and striker Paul Attah Ageyi nearly pulled a goal back but his curled effort from 20 yards struck the crossbar.

Hearts last won the GPL Title in 2009.
