A solitary second-half goal settled the fiercest fixture in Ghanaian football as Hearts of Oak claimed bragging rights in front of a packed Accra Sports Stadium.
Talking points
The Accra derby delivered everything except goals until a moment of individual brilliance on 74 minutes separated the sides in front of a raucous full house.
Kotoko pushed for an equaliser and hit the woodwork twice in the closing stages, but Hearts held firm to extend their unbeaten run to seven matches.
The result tightens the race at the top of the Ghana Premier League, with three points now separating the leading quartet.
- Decisive goal came from a 20-yard strike
- Kotoko twice hit the woodwork late on
- Hearts have now won five of the last six derbies
Derbies are decided by moments. Today the moment was ours.
