In a stunning upset, Legon Cities FC emerged victorious over Hearts of Oak in their matchday 27 clash on Saturday, propelled by a stellar performance from Albert Yeboah, who netted a brace.
After enduring three consecutive defeats, Hearts of Oak displayed resilience with a comeback win against Karela United in their previous fixture. However, Legon Cities dashed their hopes with a determined display on the field.
The match commenced with both teams exhibiting determination, but the deadlock remained unbroken in the first half. However, Legon Cities surged ahead after halftime, with Albert Yeboah finding the net in the 50th minute. He doubled the lead just 11 minutes later, sealing a 2-0 victory for his team.
The triumph propels Legon Cities to 11th place on the table, while Hearts of Oak now occupies the 10th position.
Meanwhile, Asante Kotoko’s struggles persist as they slid further down to 12th place ahead of their upcoming showdown against league leaders FC Samartex on Sunday.
For Legon Cities, the win serves as a relief following a draw with Samartex and a loss to Medeama SC. They aim to sustain their newfound momentum when they square off against Berekum Chelsea in their next fixture on April 26, 2024, in matchday 28 action.
