Hearts of Oak

Winless in their last four matches, Hearts of Oak returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 3-2 triumph over Ebusua Dwarfs on Matchday 15 of the ongoing Ghana Premier League.

Prior to the game, the Phobians’ camp had been rocked with the departure of head coach Kosta Papic, assistant coach Asare Bediako and goalkeepers’ trainer Ben Owu.

Hearts got off to a dream start with Victor Aidoo grabbing a quick brace with two penalties in the 7th and 19th minute before Moro Sumaila halved the deficit just before half time.

Dennis Akorsah-Akoumah then scored in the 77th minute to level the game for Dwarfs, setting up a pulsating end to the match.

In injury time, substitute Isaac Mensah popped up with a late winner, stumping home the rebound after Umar Manaf’s effort was initially parried by the Dwarfs goalkeeper.

Hearts of Oak move to 9th on the league log while Dwarfs slip down to 12th.
