Kwesi Asmah's 86th-minute winner sent Hearts of Oak to back-to-back wins while Berekum Chelsea claimed a first away victory in Kpando.
Ghana Premier League action delivered late drama and an away-day statement on Saturday, with Hearts of Oak snatching a 1-0 win over Vision FC and Berekum Chelsea outclassing Heart of Lions 2-0.
At the Nii Adjei Kraku Complex in Tema New Town, the Phobians had to be patient. With the clock running down, Kwesi Asmah was sharpest when a clearance fell loose inside the Vision FC box, and he finished with his left foot in the 86th minute to settle a tight contest.
The goal gave Hearts consecutive league wins, following their narrow victory over Port City. For a side still chasing consistency in the Premier League, grinding out results in tense matches like this is exactly the kind of progress supporters want to see.
In Kpando, Berekum Chelsea picked up their first away win of the season. Dramani Awuah put the visitors in front in the 39th minute, and Paul Attah Agyei doubled the lead in the 69th. Heart of Lions saw plenty of the ball but could not turn possession into goals, and Chelsea punished them with a clinical display.
It was a second straight defeat for Heart of Lions, who now face pressure to find a cutting edge. Berekum Chelsea, meanwhile, climbed to seventh in the table and will look to build on the momentum.
