Hearts of Oak Held to a Goaless Draw by Holy Stars

Hearts of Oak were held to a goalless draw by Basake Holy Stars at the University of Ghana Stadium in Legon on Sunday afternoon, extending the Phobians’ winless run in the Ghana Premier League.

Hearts missed another opportunity to close the gap on league leaders Medeama, who were beaten at home this weekend. Despite the slip by the leaders, the Phobians could not capitalize and remain third on the table, now three points behind the top spot.

The home side was reduced to ten men in the 65th minute when defender Kelvin Osei Asibey was sent off after holding his opponent to prevent a clear run on goal.

Basake Holy Stars pushed forward in search of a winner but were denied several times by goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, who produced a number of key saves to keep Hearts in the game.

The result extends Basake Holy Stars’ unbeaten run to three matches following their back-to-back wins in recent games. The draw moves them up to 11th on the league table.

Looking ahead, Basake Holy Stars will host Young Apostles in their next league match.

Hearts of Oak will travel to Kpando for a difficult away clash against Heart of Lions as they look to return to winning ways.
