Full highlights: Medeama reignites title defense with convincing victory over Hearts of Oak

Medeama delivered a dominant performance, securing a vital 2-0 victory over struggling Hearts of Oak on Wednesday, reigniting their title defense aspirations.

At the Akoon Community Park, defender Kobina Amoah and midfielder Godfred Abban were the heroes, each scoring a goal in the second half to dismantle the resilience of the Phobians.

Amoah unleashed a powerful free-kick in the 65th minute, while Abban sealed the win with a goal eight minutes before regulation time.

The defending champions showcased their determination to bounce back from recent setbacks, displaying commanding and comfortable football against the Accra giants.

Although Hearts enjoyed the majority of possession, goalkeeper Felix Kyei demonstrated exceptional quality and stability, denying them on multiple occasions.

Medeama’s victory marks a significant turnaround after recent defeats to Accra Lions and Samartex, propelling them to fifth place on the league table with 36 points from 25 matches.

On the other hand, Hearts of Oak’s woes continue as they suffer their third consecutive defeat, following losses to Samartex and Bibiani Gold Stars. Slipping to 11th place on the table, concerns loom over their ability to challenge for the Premier League crown.
