Premier League: Hearts of Oak Edge Eleven Wonders to go top
Accra Hearts of Oak clinched back-to-back victories in the Premier League with a hard-fought 1–0 triumph over Eleven Wonders at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday evening.
The result briefly propels the Phobians to the top of the table with seven points from three matches, one clear of their nearest challengers.
The decisive moment arrived in the 17th minute when Enock Asubonteng drilled a shot past the visiting goalkeeper. His well-taken effort ultimately proved enough to separate the sides in a match where Hearts dominated possession but were repeatedly tested at the back.
Hearts, roared on by their fans, enjoyed long spells of control in midfield, calmly recycling the ball and dictating tempo. Yet despite seeing much more of the ball, they struggled to convert possession into clear-cut chances, registering only three attempts on target over the 90 minutes.
With this win, Hearts of Oak move to the summit of the Premier League table, at least temporarily, and will look to extend their form when they travel to face Bechem United next. Eleven Wonders, meanwhile, remain winless after three outings and will aim to kick-start their season when they host Young Apostles next weekend.
