Accra Hearts of Oak continued their impressive late-season revival with a comfortable 2-0 win over relegated Legon Cities on Sunday at the University of Ghana Stadium in Legon. The result marked their third consecutive victory and kept their hopes of finishing in the top four of the Ghana Premier League alive.
The Phobians looked confident and composed throughout the match, dominating possession and creating several scoring opportunities. Facing a Legon Cities side already confirmed for relegation, Hearts made their quality count.
Kwabena Boateng opened the scoring midway through the first half, finishing off a slick attacking move to put the visitors ahead. Hearts remained in control after the break and doubled their lead in the second half through Michael Awuah, who calmly slotted home to seal all three points.
Hearts of Oak have shown remarkable improvement in recent weeks after a difficult run of form earlier in the season. With this latest win, they now sit just two points behind fourth place heading into the final round of matches.
Their final game will be a challenging one at the Accra Sports Stadium against league leaders Samartex. However, the Phobians will be hopeful of ending the season on a high note and possibly securing a top-four finish.
As for Legon Cities, the defeat only adds to a disappointing campaign that has seen them relegated to Division One. They will round off their season with a fixture against Dreams FC before officially bidding farewell to the top flight.
