Hearts of Oak in Goalless Run at Home
Hearts of Oak have now drawn their last three home games in the Ghana Premier League. All three matches ended 0-0:
0-0 vs Dreams FC
0-0 vs Bechem United
0-0 vs Berekum Chelsea
In their most recent outing at the Legon Sports Stadium, the Phobias controlled much of the game and looked dangerous on the wings. However, Berekum Chelsea defended well to hold on for a point. Chelsea, who are still searching for their first win against Hearts since coach Samuel Boadu took charge, struggled to create chances in attack.
Medeama Held, Asante Kotoko Bounce Back
League leaders Medeama SC missed the chance to extend their lead at the top after being held to a goalless draw away at Samartex. It was a tough result for the title contenders, but they remain in strong position.
Meanwhile, Asante Kotoko returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory at Young Apostles. The win was a positive response after last week’s 1-0 loss to rivals Hearts of Oak.
Heart of Lions Celebrate Captain Ebenezer Abban
There was a special moment at Heart of Lions over the weekend as the club honoured captain Ebenezer Abban for reaching 150 appearances.
The club commended him on behalf of management, players, and fans, and wished him more success in the future.
The Ghana Premier League season continues to deliver drama, milestones, and tight competition at both ends of the table. With 23 matches played, every result matters as teams push for glory or fight to survive.
