What an encounter Ghanaian football-loving fans witnessed at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on a wet Monday night as ten-man Hearts of Oak came from behind to beat Heart of Lions 2-1.
The Lions took the lead on the stroke of halftime as Mustapha Yakubu’s deflected free-kick flew past Richard Attah, who reacted quite slowly to save the ball.
The Phobians never stopped fighting as they managed to claw their way back into the game immediately after recess as Linda Mtangue dinked a lovely ball into the penalty box, which found Salim Adams to head home the equalizer.
Despite Dennis Korsah’s clumsy high challenge on his opponent right after Hearts’ equalizer, Linda Mtangue came through when it mattered as he popped up with a debatable winner for the home side.
Hearts of Oak have now moved above Asante Kotoko to seventh on the league standings, while Heart of Lions remain seventeenth.
