Defending GPL Champions, Accra Hearts of Oak grabbed a 1-0 victory over giant slayers, Kumasi King Faisal at the Accra sports stadium on Sunday.

The Phobians who lost to Karela Utd in their previous Ghana Premier League encounter came into this game guns blazing from the start of the whistle.

Striker Kojo Obeng Jnr’s 24th minute strike gave the Rainbow Club the much needed three maximum points.

Obeng Jnr got on the end of a lovely ball from Mohammed Alhassan as the forward controlled before smashing home from distance for the only goal of the match.

Kofi Kordzie headed wide a decent chance minutes after coming on from the bench.

Hearts have a game in hand against archrivals Asante Kotoko who are ten points clear of the top.

Samuel Boadu’s men have now won five home matches and the win moves them to 5th spot with 23 points.
