Accra Hearts of Oak have recorded a convincing 0-3 victory over Accra Lions at the Accra sports stadium.
Coach Samuel Boadu who faced intense vilifications after sharing spoils with relegation-threatened Elmina Sharks in the previous week came all out to secure a convincing scoreline for his side.
A brace from Daniel Afriyie Barnie and a late strike from substitute Isaac Agyenim Boateng sealed the maximum three points for the Ghanaian giants.
An 11th-minute rebound tap in goal by Daniel Afriyie Barnie gave the Phobians an early lead.
Accra Lions reacted with dominance in possession after the goal but failed to find the back of the net.
Abdul Rashid was sent off in the 36th minute by referee Eric Sefah over a serious tackle on Kwadwo Obeng Jnr to bring down the home side men to 10.
Obeng Jnr was stretched off, only to be replaced by Isaac Agyenim Boateng who doubled the Phobian’s lead in the 55th minute through an accurate “super” pass from Suraj Seidu.
Coach Samuel Boadu introduced Sulley Muntari, Patrick Razak, Salim Adams and James Sewornu in the 69th and 79th minutes to replace Suraj Seidu, Salifu Ibrahim and Caleb Amankwah respectively to add more bite to the team.
A late strike from Afriyie Barnie in the 89th minute sealed a convincing 0-3 victory for Hearts of oak over Accra Lions.
The Phobians are now 4th on the league table with 40 points, 12 points below their rivals Asante Kotoko while Lions are 10th with 33 points.
