Rampant Hearts cruise past 10-man WAFA to go third

By Simon Asare

Accra, March 7, Accra Hearts of Oak were too
powerful for their West Africa Football Academy
(WAFA) counterparts as they thumped the Academy
lads 4-0 in a match-day 17 encounter played at the
Accra Sports Stadium.

A goal each from Patrick Razak, Isaac Mensah,
Michelle Sarpong and Raddy Ovouka was enough to
secure the spoils for the Phobians who move up to
third position on the league table with 27
points.

The game started in blistering attacking fashion
with both sides on the front foot in search for
the opener.

WAFA Captain Abubakar Ibrahim received his
marching orders from Referee Alfaa Ba-Addey after
a dangerous tackle on Patrick Razak who was put
through on goal by Victor Aidoo in the 21st
minute.

WAFA despite being a goal behind where much more
dominant team in possession and should have
restored parity in the half hour mark but Andrews
Ntim Manu well struck shot was saved by Hearts
goalkeeper Richard Attah.

Hearts made their numerical advantage count in the
34th minute when Patrick Razak tapped in from
close range after Raddy Avouka beautifully teed
him up.

The away side seemed unperturbed about being a man
down as they pressed for the equalizer and Kelvin
Boakye Yiadom nearly pulled parity from a
free-kick but his curled strike was uncomfortably
parried away by Hearts goalkeeper Richard Attah.

The first half ended with Hearts holding onto
their solitary lead.

Hearts started the second half more purposeful in
attack as they looked to secure their lead with
second goal.

Razak was gifted a glorious opportunity to score
his second goal of the game but shockingly missed
from five yards with the open goal at his mercy
but referee sparred his blushes as he blew for
offside.

Isaac Mensah scored the cushion goal for the
Phobians in 63rd minute when he kept his composure
and struck the ball past WAFA goalkeeper Sabi
Acquah Ferdinand after a superb assist by Victor
Aidoo.

Hearts despite having their cushion goal still
pushed for more and Ovouka scored the third goal
for Hearts with a superb volley inside the penalty
box in the 73rd minute.

There was certainly no way back for the away side
who were kept on the back foot in the second
half.

Hearts were in cruise control of the game as they
begun to exhibit some exquisite one touch passing
football especially with the introduction of new
recruit Salifu Ibrahim.

Substitute Michelle Sarpong scored the fourth goal
for the Phobians in added time second half as they
secured maximum points.

Man-of-the-Match: Raddy Ovouka
