Hearts of Oak entered the match against Legon Cities with the intention of bouncing back from their previous losses and reclaiming their winning form. However, it was Kofi Kordzi, playing against his former team, who shattered their hopes by scoring the solitary goal of the game. This defeat marked the third consecutive loss for the Rainbow Club in the league.
During the first 40 minutes of the game, the Royals had several opportunities to take the lead, but Maxwell Konadu’s side failed to capitalize on those chances. Nonetheless, just before the halftime break, Kordzi punished Hearts of Oak with his goal.
With this defeat, Hearts of Oak’s aspirations for a top-four finish in the Ghana Premier League have been extinguished.

Coach David Ocloo’s team must rally their spirits and strive for positive results in their final two games of the season to secure their place in the league for the following year.
