Hearts of Oak produced the standout result of Matchday Two, defeating Bibiani Gold Stars 2-1 at Duns Park to maintain their perfect start to the campaign. The victory also ended Gold Stars’ remarkable 19-match unbeaten home run in the Ghana Premier League.
The Phobians now have six points from two matches, with six goals scored and only one conceded. Their +5 goal difference sees them occupy top spot, ahead of Samartex on goals scored and goal difference.
Benjamin Asare played a decisive role in securing the victory, saving a 90th-minute penalty to preserve Hearts’ lead and complete a memorable away win. After opening the campaign with a 4-0 victory over Berekum Chelsea, Hearts have now followed it up by overcoming a much tougher away test.
The defeat is a major setback for Gold Stars, who have now lost both of their opening matches and remain bottom with zero points. The result also demonstrates Hearts’ early credentials, with the Phobians emerging as the only side to have scored six goals after two games and one of just two teams with a 100 percent record.
