Faisal defeat Hearts to deepen Zito's woes

Published on: 16 December 2007

King Faisal's shocking success on Sunday was enough to see them move from the bottom of the table, leapfrogging Real Sportive and Olympics to occupy the 14th position.

It was two goals in either half by Abedi Sarfo and another by Samad Oppong that was enough to see of Hearts' challenge.

The defeat means Hearts are facing their grimmest league start in a decade after conceding their second defeat in four matches.

 

This increases pressure on management of the club for Zito to be sacked by the 2000 African champions.

 

As result of this defeat, the Phobians will be compelled to fortify their technical bench this week.

 

Another coach under pressure is Nii Adu Sackey of Accra Great Olympics whose side suffered a painful 1-0 defeat at the hands of visiting Real Tamale United.

 

Shilla Alhassan pulled the trigger that found the net for RTU to record an important away win.

 

The Dade Boys are the only side without a win after four rounds of matches as they are now firmly rooted at the bottom of the table.

Stephen Amankwah put the gunners ahead in the 25th minute from the spot-kick before Ibrahim Duada doubled the lead a minute after the interval.

Alex Asamoah restored hope for the Miners before Shaibu Yakubu penalty in stoppage time spared them some blushes.

At the Gyandu Park, a tap-in from close range in the 35th minute by Benjamin Annan halted the unbeaten of Heart of Lions against Sekondi Hasaacas. 

Gamba All Blacks averted a second successive defeat after substitute Osmanu Sakora's 63rd minute goal cancelled out Ransford Osei opener for Kessben in the 39th minute.

Liberty Professionals continued with the wining form and move to second spot after dismissing Tema Youth 2-0 at the Karl Reindorff Park.

Sam Ayew Yeboah got his third goal of the season and Udinese bound Kwadwo Asamoah's glancing header put the game beyond the Tema lads.

Zaytuna FC won the battle of the promoted when a Felix Baffoe strike in the 85th minutes shut the mouths of the partisan crowd at Wa in their game against All Stars.
