Legon Cities FC delivered a sensational performance on Saturday, stunning Hearts of Oak with a crucial victory in their matchday 27 showdown, largely thanks to a brace from Albert Yeboah.
After enduring three consecutive defeats, Hearts of Oak had displayed resilience with a comeback win against Karela United in their previous fixture. However, their aspirations were dashed by Legon Cities’ determined showing.
The game commenced with both sides exhibiting determination, yet neither managed to break the deadlock in the opening half. However, Legon Cities emerged revitalized after halftime, with Albert Yeboah finding the net in the 50th minute and doubling his tally just 11 minutes later to secure a 2-0 triumph for his team.
The triumph propels Legon Cities to 11th place on the league table, while Hearts of Oak now occupy the 10th position.
Meanwhile, Asante Kotoko’s woes persist as they slip further to 12th place ahead of their impending clash against league leaders FC Samartex on Sunday.
For Legon Cities, the victory brings a sense of relief following a draw with Samartex and a loss to Medeama SC. They will be eager to sustain their newfound momentum as they prepare to face Berekum Chelsea in their upcoming fixture on April 26, 2024, in matchday 28 action.
