Heart of Lions suffered some battering at the Robert Mensah Stadium on Saturday as they lost 4-1 to Ebusua Dwarfs.<\/p>\n

It was a day of defeats for the top-two – after Kotoko lost 1-0 to Inter Allies in Accra – as the Kpando side, pushing to consolidate the second Champions League spot also fell to another side battling with relegation.<\/p>\n

Dwarfs scored two goals apiece in either half as Lions got their consolation from a penalty.<\/p>\n

Joseph Enstil sounded Dwarfs’ intent when he opened scoring just after the blast of the whistle connecting a pass from Richard Gadze in the first minute.<\/p>\n

Twenty minutes later, Dwarfs doubled their lead, this time through Gadze, who reacted quickest to tap in from close range after goalkeeper Mozart Adjetey had spilled a freekick.<\/p>\n

With a two-nil lead, Lions returned from the break determined to pull a goal back but it was Dwarfs who made it three-nil when Frederick Boateng scored in the 75th minute.<\/p>\n

Lions were awarded a penalty and Kodzo Edem stepped up to convert from the spot in the 87th minute to reduce the damage.<\/p>\n

However in injury time, Boateng was hand again as his second goal of the afternoon sealed the day for Dwarfs.<\/p>\n

Despite the victory, Dwarfs remain third from bottom with four games to go.<\/p>\n
