<p>Both teams went into the game on the back of a poor run of form, with Kotoko winning just two out of their previous 11 matches while Hearts had also won just thrice in that same period.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/sports/football/michael-akuffo-says-theres-juju-in-hearts-vs-kotoko-matches/8nxc179" title="Hearts of Oak in danger of being relegated after losing to Kotoko">Ghana Premier League</a> giants were also already out of the title race as a result of both occupying 10th and 12<sup>th</sup>, respectively, on the league table.</p>

<p>However, the Porcupine Warriors came up tops in the Super Clash, with Steven Mukwala scoring a double to condemn Hearts to defeat.</p>

<p>The Ugandan striker put Kotoko ahead in the first half with a brilliant finish after being played through on goal.</p>

<p>Mukwala doubled the hosts’ lead late in the second half when he beat the off-side trap before turning his marker inside out to score at the near post.</p>

<p>While Kotoko&nbsp;have&nbsp;now moved up to ninth on the league table, Hearts have disappointingly dropped to the 15th position.</p>

<p>The Phobians are also now facing a real danger of being relegated, as they sit just two points above city rivals Accra Great Olympics, who have a game in hand.</p>

<p>Should Great Olympics win their outstanding match, they will move above Hearts with just three matches left in the Ghana Premier League.</p>
