Hearts pip Young Apostles 1-0 to end 5-game winless run
Accra Hearts of Oak pipped Young Apostles 1-0 to end their five-game winless run. Frank Abora Duku's first-half strike secured the result.
Claude Bortey's header from a corner was cleared off the line by Kelvin Osei-Asibey after just three minutes. Hussein Mohammed thought he had slipped Mawuli Wayo through, but Bortey blocked the pass. Abdul Ganiyu tried to chip Hearts keeper Solomon Agbasi from the halfway line. Frank Abora Duku scored from just outside the box, eight minutes before the break. The goal came from a Solomon Agbasi long ball, controlled and released by Mawuli Wayo. Duku's goal was the first time he had scored in consecutive games since joining Hearts from Vision F.C. last June. Ali Mohammed missed a goal from a free kick. Kelvin Osei-Asibey's header was too feeble to beat Frank Boateng. Ali Mohammed tested Frank Boateng from a free kick, but Boateng produced a smart stop. Duku's snap shot was straight at Frank Boateng. Oppong Afranie appeared to have diverted the ball into his own net, but Solomon Agbasi made the save. Agbasi parried Ramzy Abubakar's long range effort.
Solomon Agbasi was carried away in an ambulance after sustaining an injury. Club sources told JoySports that the goalkeeper suffered concussion but was stable after the game. Hearts are now 3rd on the league table with 46 points, 4 behind league leaders **Medeama
