Hearts equals 20-year record in biggest win of the season agains Bechem United
2nd January 2021
Accra Hearts of Oak annihilated a 1o-man Bechem United by 6-1 in their match day 7 encounter at the Accra Sports Stadium.
It was the first defeat for league leaders and it came in an all second half goal scoring spree.
The scoreline against Bechem is the biggest in the ongoing campaign surpassing Ashantigold’s 4-2 victory over Elmina Sharks a month ago.
It also happens to be the Club's heaviest scoreline in 20 years after Coach Attuquayfio led the Phobians to beat Berekum Arsenal in 2001.
After a barren first half, youngster Manaf Umar opened the floodgates with a fabulous strike to make it back to back goals in his last two games.
Victor Aidoo’s brace extended the Phobians lead to 3-0 at 73 minutes before Fredrick Ansah Botwe put the game beyond the Hunters after converting from the spot.
Prince Adu Kwabena pulled one back for Bechem United.
However, the Rainbow boys were unstoppable adding two late goals through Abdul Lawali and Benjamin Afutu.
The win is the third in four games for Hearts of Oak since Serbian trainee Kosta Papic took over.
