Kwadwo Obeng Jr.’s first-half goal secured all three points for the Heart of Lions in this tightly contested matchday nine encounter.

The Porcupine Warriors entered the game with determination to bounce back from their previous loss to Legon Cities but struggled to find the back of the net. Lord Amos made an early attempt to score, but his effort went wide.

Additional attempts by Justice Blay and Kyei Dwamena were blocked by Heart of Lions’ resolute defence, showcasing the opposition’s tactical organisation.

In the 27th minute, a long ball from the Lions proved decisive. Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Mohammed Camara misjudged his clearance, allowing Kwadwo Obeng Jr. to pounce on the error and score, giving the Heart of Lions a crucial lead that they held onto until halftime.

The second half saw both teams adopting disciplined tactical play, with Asante Kotoko pressing for an equaliser. Fernando came closest to levelling the score in the 70th minute, but his shot skimmed inches wide of the post—the closest the Porcupine Warriors came in the second half.

Heart of Lions’ defence held firm under Kotoko’s pressure, securing a well-earned away victory and delivering another setback for Asante Kotoko, who now face challenges in regaining form in the GPL.

Following their 1-0 defeat to Heart of Lions, Asante Kotoko sits third on the <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/sports/football/gpl-struggling-legon-cities-end-asante-kotokos-unbeaten-run-with-a-hard-fought/6ejpq8z">Ghana Premier League </a>table with 15 points. Their upcoming fixture in match week 10 sees them facing Bechem United, a critical matchup as Kotoko aims to regain momentum after back-to-back losses.

Heart of Lions, with their recent victory, now hold the sixth spot in the standings with 14 points. They will be looking to build on this success as they prepare to host Berekum Chelsea next. With only a one-point difference separating them from Kotoko, Heart of Lions could climb even higher in the league if they secure another win.
