Hearts of Oak have continued to thrive under new coach Aboubakar Ouattara, as they sealed yet another victory over Nsoatreman on Sunday. Despite facing an early deficit, the Phobians showed their mettle by bouncing back and claiming a 2-1 win on the road
After a solid performance against Real Tamale United in their last game, Hearts of Oak initially struggled to find their rhythm against Nsoatreman. The home team took advantage of this and managed to open the scoring through Walid Neymah Fuseini in the 23rd minute, capitalizing on a defensive lapse from Hearts of Oak. At halftime, Ouattara’s tactical adjustments proved fruitful as the Phobians returned stronger in the second half. Salifu Ibrahim’s deflected shot brought the scores level, and Ivorian forward Cisse Kassim sealed the win with a goal, showcasing excellent teamwork.
This victory marked Hearts of Oak’s second consecutive triumph under Ouattara and extended their unbeaten streak in the league to five games. The Phobians now sit in seventh place in the standings, eight points behind leaders Samartex, but with several matches remaining, they remain hopeful of a title push.
On the other hand, Nsoatreman will rue their missed opportunity to secure a win over Hearts of Oak, but they still maintain a higher position in the table.
Hearts of Oak’s recent performances under Ouattara’s guidance have been promising, with the team showing great resilience and determination on the field. The fans are optimistic about the team’s future prospects and eagerly anticipate their upcoming matches.
