Heart of Lions secured a pivotal 2-0 win over Samartex at the Kpando Stadium on Sunday, delaying Samartex’s bid to clinch their first league title.
Entering the match, Samartex knew a victory would secure them the championship, but Heart of Lions, battling to avoid relegation, had different plans. Ebenezer Abban was the hero for the Lions, scoring both goals in the second half. He broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute and sealed the win with a penalty in the 92nd minute.
With this victory, Heart of Lions have moved two points above the relegation zone and will aim to maintain their form in the remaining three matches to ensure their survival.
Samartex, needing just one more win to claim the title, will look to achieve this in their upcoming home game against Bibiani Gold Stars next week.
