Hearts of Oak returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion with a 3-0 victory over Heart of Lions at the University of Ghana Stadium on Sunday, extending their unbeaten home run and moving up to second place in the Ghana Premier League.
The Phobians needed just two minutes to break the deadlock, with Ransford Mensah firing home with a left-footed effort following a scramble inside the visitors’ penalty area.
John Antwi doubled Hearts’ advantage with a simple finish after a well-executed free-kick routine caused confusion in the Heart of Lions defence.
Hearts maintained their attacking intensity after the break, with Antwi completing his brace just two minutes into the second half following another well-worked attacking move.
The experienced forward’s impressive contribution takes his tally to four league goals this season, accounting for a third of Hearts’ 12 goals after 10 matches.
The Phobians have also improved their attacking output compared with the corresponding stage last season, when they had scored just eight goals after 11 matches.
Coach Nebojsa Kapor will be encouraged by the attacking response from his players, with their impressive home form providing a strong foundation for their push towards the top of the league table.
