Hearts of Oak Clinch 2025 Gbese Mantse Homowo Cup
Accra Hearts of Oak lifted the 2025 Gbese Mantse Homowo Cup after a 2-0 victory over Heart of Lions at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday evening.
The match began on a solemn note with a minute’s silence for the eight perished victims of the recent helicopter crash.
As the game began, both sides created early chances with Lions’ Seedorf Asante failing to convert a one-on-one opportunity, while Hearts’ Hamza Issah also missed from close range.
However, Hearts of Oak new signing Frank Doku finally broke the deadlock with a neat finish before Issah atoned for his earlier miss, doubling the lead with a composed lob over goalkeeper Jason Nettey.
The second half saw chances at both ends, with Hearts pushing for a third and Lions threatening on the counter, but neither side could add to the scoreline.
The win hands the Phobians their first silverware of the season, and both teams will now shift focus to the GHALCA Top Four tournament kicking off on August 20.
