Hearts over
Hasaacas
Accra, Dec 12, Ghanadot/GNA – A
goal in each half ensured the defending league champions,
Accra Hearts of Oak earned their first victory in the third
week Premier League match against Sekondi Hasaacas at the El
Wak Stadium on Wednesday.
In a game which saw none of the sides proving too dominant,
it was Hearts who made the best out of the situation in the
21st minute from a Francis Bossman’s well executed
free-kick.
The midfielder who was just a few meters outside the penalty
box, connected with a shot that deflected against the goal
post before dropping into the net to set the Phobians on the
victory path and a sigh of relieve to their fans.
The goal did not however change the unexciting nature of the
game as both sides struggled to find their rhythm till the
41st minute when Eric Cantona of Hasaacas had a perfect
opportunity to level up the scores but shot across the goal
post to end the half.
The second half was not all that different from the first
but it was still the Phobians who made the best out of
events and managed to increase the tally in the 82nd minute
through Eric Gawu.
Lurking around the “16” yard box, Gawu capitalized on
Hasaacas goalkeeper Joseph Addo’s inability to make a first
time grab of substitute Reuben Senyo’s shot to bury the ball
in the net for the insurance goal of the Phobians.
Even though there was positive response from Hasaacas,
series of indecisions on the part of their strikers denied
them any consolation goal till the end of proceedings.
