Accra Hearts of Oak, driven by a determination not to go down again as they did against Liberty Professional last Sunday, yesterday fought grittily from a goal down to chalk up success at the expense of Medeama Sporting Club, winning 2-1 in their 11th week Glo Premier League game at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Medeama Sporting Club did not hide their intention of emulating the example set by Liberty Professionals who outclassed and outscored Hearts of Oak at the same venue, but after drawing first blood in the 25th minute through Francis Coffie from a spot kick, following a foul by Sammy Adjei, their quest to beat the Phobians fell flat.
Aware of the anger and consternation of their fans, following their recent inconsistent poor showing, the Phobians, spurred on by their "never say die" motto fought hard to cancel the Medeama lead two minutes later, through enigmatic striker, Mahatma Otoo.
It was one match which no quarter was given, as both sides did not hide their intention of carrying the day - and the intention to win by either side was so glaring, but it took a 70th minute goal by Prince Atakora Gyimah for Hearts to chalk up victory against the well-lubricated Medeama S/C side.
On Saturday at the Accra Sports Stadium, Tema Youth and Mighty Jets played to a pulsating 2-2 draw. Tema Youth still remain unbeaten in their last four outings in the Glo Premier League after picking a point off Mighty Jets.
It took Jets 12 minutes to open the scoring in the game that produced seven yellow cards with six of their players getting booked.
Jacob Quao put Jets in front but four minutes later Benjamin Terry drew Tema Youth level. Jets were back in the lead six minutes after the equaliser through Kofi Owusu, a goal which sent them into the break 2-1 up.
But substitute Hamza Abdulai who came on for Zuberu Salifu in the first half got the equaliser after 69 minutes to earn his side a share of the spoils on match-day-11
