Hearts of Oak dominated Berekum Chelsea 3-0 in the Ghana Premier League on Wednesday, showcasing their skill and talent in an enthralling show at Golden City Park.

The home team suffered their second home loss of the 2023–24 season thanks to goals from Linda Mtange, Cisse Kassim, and Hamza Issah.

In the 19th minute, Hearts’ top scorer, Hamza Issah scored a spectacular goal inside the box to give the visitors the lead. This came about thanks to an exquisite and flamboyant pass from Issah Kuka.

Two more goals from Cisse Kassim (83rd) and Linda Mtange (59th) highlighted Hearts of Oak’s tenacity in winning at the Golden City park.

The Ghanaian giants are greatly relieved after suffering a 1-0 home loss to city rivals Accra Lions the previous week.

Hearts of Oak’s tactical prowess was on display in the game as they demonstrated their capacity to control the ball, generate scoring opportunities, and thwart Chelsea’s relentless attacks.

Hearts’ victory puts them in 11th place on the standings with 38 points, but they still trail their opponents by three points with 41. This could indicate that the team is beginning to find its rhythm and cohesiveness under duress and is prepared to contend for at least a top four finish.
