Aduana FC scored seconds before halftime and held on for their first win over Hearts of Oak under Coach Samuel Boadu.

Boadu’s side had not lost in their previous two meetings against Aduana FC and came into the clash high on confidence after back-to-back wins against Asante Kotoko and WAFA.

Sam Adams converted that proved the match winner as he received a through pass in a good position before calmly smashing home the match winner beating substitute goalkeeper Richmond Ayi with a powerful low effort.

Ayi came on for Richard Attah who was stretched off over what appeared to be a hamstring injury.
