Legon Cities' miserable season continued as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Accra Hearts of Oak in the capital derby on Friday, January 3, 2025.

Ahmed Ramzy Yussif’s decisive first-half strike proved to be the difference, leaving the Royals with an uphill battle to escape relegation.

Despite their efforts, the visitors were unable to find an equalizer, extending their winless streak in what has been a difficult campaign.

The victory propelled the Phobians to second place on the league table with 28 points from 16 matches, underlining their resurgence under coach Aboubakar Ouattara.

Meanwhile, Legon Cities remain rooted at the bottom with just 11 points, facing an increasingly dire situation as the season progresses.

The Royals will need to turn things around quickly if they are to avoid the drop, while Hearts of Oak will be aiming to maintain their strong form as they chase the league title.
