The resurgence of Hearts of Oak continues as a powerful strike from in-form striker, Hamza Issah, earned the capital city club a vital away win over Karela United in far away Tamale.
A 2nd minute goal from the striker proved decisive for the Phobians as it took their winning streak to three and leaped over their bitter rivals, Asante Kotoko on the league log.
The win has obviously restored the confidence of coach Ouattara Aboubakar who has been under intense pressure in recent times, following the former champions poor start in the league.
Karela’s call for a penalty to give them a last minute hope was ignored by the referee as Hearts remained resolute and protected their solitary lead till the end of the game.
However, goalkeeper Benjamin Asare stood tall, making crucial saves to deny the hosts.
The second half saw Karela intensify their search for a goal, but the well-organized Hearts defence successfully neutralized their threats.
With this victory, the Phobians climb to fourth on the league table, reinvigorating their campaign as they aim to challenge the title.
