Frank Duku's well-timed header lifted Hearts of Oak past Port City and snapped a three-match drought in the Ghana Premier League.
Hearts of Oak have found their way back to winning ways in the Ghana Premier League, and coach Nebojsa Kapor is making no secret of his relief. The Phobians edged Port City FC 1-0 on Sunday to end a three-game stretch without a victory in the 2026/27 campaign.
Frank Duku was the hero in front of the home crowd, rising to meet the ball with a perfectly timed header that proved the only goal of the contest. It was a narrow margin, but in a week six fixture where the hosts needed a response, one moment of quality was all it took.
Kapor admitted the build-up to the match was far from ideal, with injuries hitting his squad during the week. "We expected war before this game, and we responded well," he said, praising his players for their effort and stressing that collecting three points was the priority above everything else.
The result lifts Hearts of Oak to second in the standings, three points behind defending champions and league leaders Medeama SC. Next up, Kapor's men travel into a clash with Vision FC next weekend, where they will look to turn one good result into a proper run of form.
