Hearts of Oak miss chance to top table
Hearts of Oak squandered a penalty in Accra on
Wednesday to draw 0-0 with former champions Aduana
Stars and missed an opportunity to go top of the
Ghana Premier League table.

The Phobians will rue Mahatma Otoo’s missed
penalty kick in extra-time of the first half.

Darkeh slalomed through the Aduana defence and was
brought down cynically inside the box.

Otoo elected himself to take the spot and his
technique to chip over goalkeeper Stephen Adams
went high and wide.

In the 54th minute, the Hearts faithful appealed
for another penalty when midfielder Isaac Ofori
stumbled inside the Aduana box but referee Atikese
did not fall for that.

With ten minutes left on the clock, Aduana failed
to punish Hearts with the opener.

Godfred Saka’s corner-kick was well measured to
Emmanuel Allan who was left unmarked at the far
side but his header was poor.

Aduana resulted to delay tactics and frustrated
the profligate Hearts attackers who failed to
unlock the defence of the visitors.

Hearts will be content with the draw but will stay
in third place and one point behind leaders Kotoko
who lost at New Edubiase
