Accra Hearts of Oak notched a 2-1 victory over Gomoa Fetteh Feyenoord in their Onetouch Premier league match at the Tema Sports Stadium.
Hearts should have won the match with an avalanche of goals, following the persistent pressure they mounted on their opponents in the first half when they scored the two goals, the first goal coming in the third minute through Ablade Morgan and the other in the 25th minute through a penalty taken by Dan Quaye but the Phobians then surprisingly faded completely in the second half.
Feyenoord who played as if they were possessed, looked jittery in the first half but changed their pattern of play in the second session and scored their goal in the 47th minute when Hearts goalie, Abubakar Sulemana failed to grab a first time shot delivered by Dominic Adiyah for hovering Abdul Nafiu Iddrisu to lob the ball over the keeper to earn an applause from the fans.
Hearts substituted goalkeeper Sulemana with Laud Quartey while Isaac Bortey came in for Soloman Asante in the 60th minute but that did not change the score line as both teams failed to score again. Charles Valdis of Hearts won the Best Player Award.
Earlier on in the first half, placard-bearing supporters of Hearts were seen demonstrating against the Ghana Football Association's decision of declaring them losers in their abortive match against Tema Youth.
Some of the placards read, "GFA/PLB contempt case pending", "Otu Quaye continue with the court case" and "Randy leave Hearts Alone". |
