Ghana: Hearts of Oak clinch the Super Clash and close in on the top spot

The latest Super Clash of the Ghana Premier League season saw Hearts of Oak assert their dominance. The capital side snatched a valuable 1-0 victory and moved closer to the league leaders.

Asante Kotoko entered the contest reeling from the departure of their coach Abdul Karim Zito following their exit from the Confederation Cup round of 16. The Porcupines were under early pressure and conceded a brilliant header from Baba Amadou just 14 minutes after kickoff.

With this narrow victory, the Phobians climbed to second place in the table (39 points), while Asante Kotoko dropped to fifth with 35 points. Medeama SC continue to hold the top spot.
