VI.2004/05 Zonal Champions decider match: Accra Sports Stadium
HEARTS -1(Benard Don Bortey) a banana free kick scored in the 2nd that won the league for the Phobians.
The zonal league was played because of the Participation of Black Stars in the 2006 World cup qualifiers and the Black Meteors for the Athens-2004 Olympics Games, where a lot of locally based players were used by both National teams,so the premier teams were divided into Northern(A) and Southern(B) zones.
Both Kotoko and Hearts topped the respective zones with 29pts each. Asante Kotoko requested that a foreign Referee should be appointed for the match which the FA heeded to and brought in Togolese Referee KOKOU DJAUPE officiate the match. Hearts defender,Dan Oppong was sent of in the 2nd half,so Hearts played 10 against 11 and still won.
Now 2020/21 season,Accra Sports Stadium, Sunday 27th June,2021. Who wins the day?
