Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Accra Hearts of Oak recorded a comfortable 3-0 victory against Accra Lions in a match-day encounter of the 2021\/22 Ghana Premier League (GPL) played at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday.<\/p>\n

Daniel Afriyie Barnieh scored a brace for the Phobians, with substitute Isaac Agyenim Boateng scoring the other goal to ensure an emphatic victory for Hearts.<\/p>\n

Hearts played majority of the game with a man-advantage as they capitalized on it and recorded an emphatic victory, which moved them temporarily into fourth position on the league table with 40 points.<\/p>\n

Accra Lions started the game as the better side, having kept possession very well, but did little to cause any danger to the Phobians in the final third.<\/p>\n

Hearts took the lead in the 11th minute after Salifu Ibrahim\u2019s shot was parried by Accra Lions goalkeeper Appiah Kubi as Afriyie Barnieh tapped in from the rebound.<\/p>\n

Obeng Junior came close to scoring the cushion goal for the Phobians but his long range effort was well saved by Accra Lions goalkeeper Appiah Kubi.<\/p>\n

Accra Lions who were playing as the home side, were reduced to 10-men after referee Sefa Eric Antwi sent off Abdul Razak Yusif in the 38th minute for a reckless challenge on Hearts forward Kwadwo Obeng Junior, who couldn\u2019t continue the game and was replaced by Agyenim Boateng.<\/p>\n

Despite being a man down, Accra Lions should have scored the equalizer on the brink of halftime, but defender Jacob Amu Mensah headed wide from close range as Hearts kept their lead intact.<\/p>\n

Hearts started the second half on the front foot as they searched for more goals.<\/p>\n

Substitute Agyenim Boateng scored the cushion goal for the Phobians with a sublime finish inside the penalty box after a beautiful through ball by Salifu Ibrahim in the 55th minute.<\/p>\n

Accra Lions despite being two goals down, were very calm and good in possession but still couldn\u2019t create any clear chances to get back into the game.<\/p>\n

Sulley Muntari who had missed a few games for the Phobians made a cameo with a quarter of the game left.<\/p>\n

Hearts were in cruise control of the game as they dominated play, and Daniel Afriyie made it three for the Phobians in the 89th minute with a superb goal.<\/p>\n

Man-of-the-Match: Daniel Afriyie Barnieh<\/p>\n
