Second-half comeback powers
Hearts to victory
Accra, Dec 3, Ghanadot/GNA – A
spirited second half performance inspired Hearts of Oak to a
2-1 victory over Berekum Arsenal in their week two premier
league clash at the Ohene Djan Stadium on Wednesday.
Goals from Obed Ansah and Eric Gawu annulled Osei Bonsu’s
opener as Hearts maintained their hundred percent record in
the two-week old league.
The Phobians, as usual lost hold of the midfield to the
visitors, allowing the latter to dominate possession.
It was by no wonder that Bonsu headed home the opener from
captain Frank Yeboah’s corner-kick after four minutes.
But their dominance was cut short after the Phobians led in
the middle by Kwabena Boafo and Ansah suddenly took charge
with several raids into their opponents half.
In the 18th minute, Hearts were given their brightest
opportunity but Gawu made a fuss of it, as he shot at the
post after rounding Arsenal goalie Thomas Asare following an
Ansah move.
The Phobians resumed strongly and succeeded in drawing
parity seven minutes on through a penalty after Arsenal’s
Saliu Yakubu handled the ball in the box, and the Ansah
converted for the equalizer.
Four minutes later, Gawu atoned for his earlier miss by
slotting home by rounding Asare again, after David Anars had
put him through.
