Accra Hearts of Oak beat Power FC 1-0
At the Ho Sports stadium, Ablade Morgan's 75th minute spot
kick powered Accra Hearts of Oak to beat Power FC 1-0 in
their One-Touch Premier League encounter.
The lone goal came as a consolation for supporters of Hearts
after Morgan and Francis Bossman missed several chances
including Morgan's 53rd minute free kick, which hit the side
bar and his 63rd lowly placed effort which was ruled for off
side by Class One referee T.Y Aggrey.
Power played a determined game winning most of the 50-50
balls but failed to net the ball.
In the 20th minute, Power's Alex Awuah tested the
flexibility of Laud Quartey in post for Hearts and the
keeper responded beautifully by saving a goal bound ball.
The two teams occasionally created chances at each other's
goalmouth but it was keeper Quartey who was most of the time
active as he easily dealt with the long-range shots fired by
the Power strikers.
After the recess, both team came into the game strongly
making a number of changes to outwit each other but kept
their supporters who were hungry for goals to sit on
tender-hooks until the 75th minute when a Power defender
handled the ball that resulted in the award of the spot
kick.
In the 77th minute Laud Quartey denied Power the equalizer
when he gallantly grasped Ben Addo's power-driven shot that
went through a forest of legs.
Power's Samuel Arthur was earlier sent off in the 73rd
minute for hard tackle.
