Ghana's women's football scene delivered drama, defiance and dominance in the Southern Zone, with Hearts of Oak Ladies left frustrated by a penalty miss while Hasaacas Ladies and Samartex Ladies collected maximum points.
At Teshie Mats Park, Army Ladies and Hearts of Oak Ladies shared a 0-0 draw. The tempo was high from the first whistle, and both sides pushed to take control. After a cautious opening spell, the game turned physical as the two midfields fought for supremacy. The best chance of the afternoon fell to Hearts just before the break. They were awarded a penalty but could not convert, and Army escaped.
The second half brought more of the same. Both teams chased a winner, and five minutes of added time gave them every chance to find one. Resolute defending on both sides held firm, and the points were split.
Over at Madina Astro Turf, former champions Hasaacas Ladies showed their resilience. They extended their unbeaten run with a 2-1 comeback win over Epiphany Warriors, who made the brighter start and struck first. Hasaacas answered, flipped the result and kept their momentum going.
Samartex Ladies were the most comfortable winners of the day, beating LadyStrikers 3-0. Hasaacas and Samartex now sit among the Southern Zone's form sides, while Hearts of Oak will wonder how a missed penalty cost them a victory.
