In a concerning turn of events, the troubles for Hearts of Oak persist as they grapple to secure a victory, resulting in a goalless draw against FC Samartex in their 2023/24 Ghana Premier League week six fixture.
The Phobians are now enduring a challenging three-game winless streak, raising alarm bells among fans and management alike.
Coach Martin Koopman’s side found themselves unable to unlock the resolute Samartex defense, struggling to create significant goal-scoring opportunities.
Their hopes appeared dashed when Samartex’s goalkeeper, Kofi Baah, delivered a spectacular save to deny Hamza Issah’s goal attempt in the 67th minute.
In an attempt to inject fresh vigor into their attack and search for a much-needed goal, Hearts of Oak introduced Kashala Ramos and Salifu Ibrahim into the game. However, Samartex held their ground with an unyielding defensive formation, thwarting every offensive move by the Phobians.
This result compounds Hearts of Oak’s league position, as they now find themselves in the 12th spot on the league table with a meager five points out of a possible 18.
Their struggles at the Accra Sports Stadium have left them with just one victory, along with two draws, in the current season. The team and its supporters are undoubtedly hoping for a turnaround as they navigate the challenges of the Ghana Premier League.
