The win extends their winning streak to three matches, marking their best run this season under coach Aboubakar Ouattara.

Hamzah Issah's first-half strike proved decisive for the Phobians. The forward capitalised on a well-timed pass to net the lone goal of the match, securing a vital three points for Hearts of Oak.

Despite Karela United’s spirited performance, they failed to pose significant threats to the Phobians’ goal. Hearts of Oak, on the other hand, executed their game plan effectively, maintaining their lead throughout the match.

The second half saw Hearts pushing for a second goal, but Karela’s defence held firm. Hearts’ tactical discipline ensured they denied Karela any clear-cut chances to equalise, wrapping up a hard-fought victory.

The victory propels Hearts of Oak into the top four of the league standings, leapfrogging their arch-rivals, Asante Kotoko, who have suffered an unprecedented four consecutive defeats this season.
