Mustapha Yakubu’s goal in the 28th minute sealed a narrow win for Heart of Lions against Nsoatreman on Sunday at the Kpando Sports Stadium.
The forward displayed excellent finishing, scoring his fifth goal of the season and securing a crucial victory for Lions in their fight to avoid relegation.
Both teams started the match with determination, but it was the home side that showed more initiative, eventually reaping the rewards with Yakubu’s well-executed strike.
Despite Nsoatreman’s efforts to stage a comeback, they faced a resilient Lions defense that worked tirelessly to protect their lead, ultimately earning three valuable points.
However, despite the win, Heart of Lions remains second from the bottom in the league standings. With only five matches left, their fate depends entirely on their performance in the upcoming games, which will be crucial in determining their survival in the league.
Their next challenge will be against Dreams FC in Dawu, a team also fighting against relegation but boosted by having four games in hand.
On the other hand, Nsoatreman will be disappointed with the result, especially as they were aiming to bounce back from a draw at home against Bofoakwa Tano.
They will have a chance to recover in their next match against Bibiani Gold Stars.
