Heart of Lions Secure Third Consecutive Win as They Narrowly Edge Chelsea
Heart of Lions achieved a new milestone in their 2024-25 Ghana Premier League campaign, securing their third consecutive victory with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Berekum Chelsea at the Kpando Sports Stadium on Sunday.
This victory propelled Bashir Hayford’s side to fourth place on the league table, highlighting their impressive start to the season and reinforcing their status as one of the league’s most consistent teams.
Christian Boateng emerged as the hero of the day, scoring the game’s only goal in the 41st minute after a dominant first-half performance by the home side.
This decisive strike, his second goal of the season, underscored Boateng’s ability to deliver at crucial moments, giving Lions the edge they needed.
In the second half, Heart of Lions maintained control, creating several chances to extend their lead but ultimately unable to add to their tally.
Nevertheless, their solid defensive performance held firm, allowing them to see out the narrow victory.
This latest win extends Heart of Lions’ remarkable run of form, having lost just once in their last 18 league matches, a streak that includes 10 victories.
Their consistency and resilience have solidified their place as a serious contender in this season’s campaign, a testament to Hayford’s leadership and the team’s determination.
Meanwhile, Berekum Chelsea’s struggles continued, as they extended their winless streak to three games.
Facing mounting pressure to improve their results, the Bibires will be keen to turn their form around after this disappointing outing in Kpando.
Heart of Lions, however, will look to build on their momentum and maintain their upward trajectory as the season progresses.
