Heart of Lions secured a vital 2-0 victory over Hearts of Oak on Sunday, September 15, 2024, in matchweek 2 of the Premier League, leaving the Phobians rooted to the bottom of the table after two consecutive defeats.

Following a goalless first half, Nana Oppong broke the deadlock in the 83rd minute, giving the Kpando-based side the lead.

Just three minutes before the end of regulation time, Ishmael Addo doubled the advantage, sealing the win for Heart of Lions.

This triumph marks a positive start for Heart of Lions, who narrowly escaped relegation on the final day of last season.

Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak continue to struggle, failing to find the back of the net in their first two games of the 2024-25 campaign.

The defeat puts increasing pressure on Hearts of Oak coach Aboubakar Ouattara, who has now overseen 19 Premier League matches, winning 7, drawing 3, and losing 9, with a goal record of 22 scored and 22 conceded.

Hearts of Oak will be looking to turn their fortunes around as the season progresses, while Heart of Lions aim to build on their strong start.
