David Ocloo, the Deputy coach of Accra Hearts of Oak, expressed his contentment with the team’s performance after their hard-earned victory over a resilient Accra Lions side.
Linda Mtange scored her first goal in the BetPawa Premier League, propelling Hearts of Oak to a 1-0 triumph over their city rivals at the Accra Sports Stadium. The Phobians’ starting lineup featured Caleb Amankwah, Dennis Korsah, Albert Eonde, and Samuel Inkoom, with Eric Ofori Antwi in goal, taking over from Richmond Ayi.
After losing 3-0 to Karela United last weekend, the Rainbow team entered the game eager to get back to winning ways. However, they had difficulty finding the back of the net in the first half, and it took them 64 minutes to score through Linda Mtange.
Despite Accra Lions’ improvement and attempts to equalize, Hearts always appeared to be in control, with Eric Esso coming close to a second goal with a shot on target.
