Accra Hearts of Oak suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Heart of Lions in a club friendly on Tuesday afternoon.
The game started with both teams struggling to convert their chances in the first half.
But the visitors broke the deadlock through Ebenezer Abban’s strike from the penalty spot during the 63rd minute.
The Rainbows, however, pressed high in a search of an equaliser, which came in the 90th minute when Seth Osei scored his debut goal.
Despite conceding late, Heart of Lions quickly restored their lead through Seedorf Asante Afful, who capitalised on Hearts’ poor defending to score, which gave the visitors an important win at Kpobiman.
The contest looked destined for a draw until Afful came off the bench and popped up with the crucial goal in added time.
Coach Bashir Hayford will hope his team can continue this imperious form when the league returns, but Coach Aboubakar Ouattarra will hope he can fix these errors before the league returns.
With the Ghana Premier League put on hold, both teams are expected to feature in warm-up games to keep their form in shape.
Accra Hearts of Oak are level on points (33) in fourth, behind Lions on goal difference after matchday 19.
