Bofoakwa Tano clinched a narrow 1-0 win against Heart of Lions on Thursday, marking a crucial return to winning ways for the team.
In a tightly contested match in the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League, the decisive moment came early in the game when Saaka Dauda converted a penalty in the second minute, sealing all three points for Bofoakwa Tano.
Despite a valiant effort from Heart of Lions, they were unable to find an equaliser, leaving them empty-handed at the final whistle.
This victory ends a long wait for Bofoakwa Tano, with their last win in the competition dating back to November 5, 2023, when they defeated Nations FC 1-0. Since then, they have endured an 11-game winless streak, with five losses and six draws in the Ghana Premier League.
While the win has provided a much-needed boost for Bofoakwa Tano, they still find themselves in the relegation zone, sitting 16th in the league standings with 23 points from 21 matches. With four wins, one draw, and six losses, they are aiming to climb further up the table in the coming fixtures.
On the other hand, Heart of Lions also find themselves in a precarious position, lying 17th with 21 points. They will be eager to bounce back in their next game against Hearts of Oak, while Bofoakwa Tano will be hosting Dreams FC in their upcoming fixture.
As the Ghana Premier League season progresses, both teams will be looking to build on this result and secure more positive outcomes in their bid to climb the league ladder and achieve their respective objectives.
