Africa-Press – Ghana. Hearts of Oak delivered a stunning performance as they thrashed Berekum Chelsea 3-0, marking an impressive return to form in the Ghana Premier League after enduring two consecutive defeats.
The Phobians showcased one of their finest displays of the second round, earning a convincing victory that left Chelsea and their former coach, Samuel Boadu, in disbelief at the Berekum Golden City Park on Wednesday afternoon.
Entering the match just three points clear of the relegation zone, Hearts of Oak urgently needed a strong response following losses to Legon Cities and Accra Lions. The defeats had sparked concern among fans and pressured the technical team, led by coach Aboubakar Ouattara for the first time.
However, the team responded emphatically, securing victory with goals from Hamza Issah, Linda Mtange, and Cisse Kassim. Issah Kuka’s remarkable pass set up Hearts’ top scorer, Hamza Issah, who struck a powerful shot into the net in the 20th minute.
Subsequent goals from Linda Mtange in the 59th minute and Cisse Kassim in the 83rd minute highlighted Hearts of Oak’s resurgence and celebrated triumph.
