Heart of Lions continued their impressive form with a 1-0 victory over Legon Cities at the University of Ghana Stadium on Sunday, as Christian Boateng’s first-half goal proved decisive.
The forward found the back of the net to secure all three points for Lions, who are now on a three-match winning streak and sit third on the Ghana Premier League table. The result keeps their title hopes alive ahead of a crucial encounter against defending champions Samartex in Kpando.
In a closely contested affair, Heart of Lions edged possession with 51%, while Legon Cities had 49%. The hosts registered five total shots with two on target, while Lions managed six shots, although only one tested the goalkeeper — the match-winning strike from Boateng.
For Legon Cities, it was another difficult outing. Their second consecutive defeat leaves them entrenched in the relegation zone, seven points adrift of safety. With matches running out, they face an uphill task to avoid the drop.
Heart of Lions will look to maintain their momentum when they host Medeama, while Cities must find a quick response if they are to keep their survival hopes alive.
