LIONS DEEPEN HEARTS' WOES (Back Page)

Story: Emmanuel Modey, Kpandu

Heart of Lions scored two brilliant goals to further dampen the spirit of struggling Accra Hearts of Oak in their match at the Kpando Park yesterday.
Osei Banahene scored in the eighth minute and confirmed the triumph with a 53rd minute header.
The victory was the first for Lions over Hearts since joining the premiership and was wildly celebrated in Kpando.
Hearts could hardly create any opportunity in the entire 90 minutes as their midfield was completely shattered.
Lions dominated the first half and got their opener through Banahene who completed a superb move between George Yamoah and Dominic Adiyah from the flanks. Receiving a delicate pass from Yamoah at the edge of the penalty box, Banahene curled the ball beautifully beyond the reach of goalkeeper Sulemana Abubakari.
The Kpando boys became even more dreadful after the goal and created lots of chances through chief architect, Adiyah, who partnered very well with Abraham Annang and Yamoah in the middle.
Banahene made victory certain with a beautiful header from a corner kick taken by Annang in the 53rd minute.
