Hearts And Kotoko Win To Light Up Meet

The two most glamorous clubs, Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko capped fine wins at the weekend to light up their Premiership meeting in Accra on Sunday.

Hearts must have laboured in a game they had wrapped around their
fingers a greater time of duration, but that posting a sweet revenge
over Liberty, their city rivals has boosted their confidence ahead of
the most anticipated meeting is the truth.

The Phobians rode on the back of a fine afternoon for Uriah
Asante and a superb freekick by Esme Mends to rack in all three points
which Liberty fought in vain to share to move mid-table. Without doubt, Hearts needed this win to pep their confidence ahead of that meeting with their sworn rivals whose sudden revival
appears near permanent.

Three unanswered goals by Kotoko almost sound strange per their
own poor outing this season and whipping ten-man Aduana Stars to move
to fourth place on the log serves the tonic Kotoko needed before
hitting the road to Accra.

Though the outcome of the Accra game will not determine the
winner of the league, obviously the revenge on Kotoko’s minds
following their lone goal loss in the first round is enough to fuel an
envisaged classic duel.

The league remains Berekum Chelsea’s to lose after opening
13-point gap to keep their hold at the apex after beating closest
contenders, Medeama 1-0. Elsewhere, Godfred Asante and Bright Nsiah struck to give Heart of Lions a 2-0 win over Berekum Arsenals at the Kpando Park.

King Faisal further bruised Mighty Jets as the debutants failed
to make their switch to Akosombo Park count with a 0-1 defeat. At Obuasi, Yakubu Mohammed and Theophilus Annobil scored for
Ashgold to push the Miners to third place and halt RTU’s brief
recovery from the bottom ranks of the table. Ebusua Dwarfs picked all points in their meeting with bottom side
