Newly promoted Bofoakwa Tano continued their impressive start to the Ghana Premier League, securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Hearts of Oak at their home ground in Sunyani on Saturday.
Both teams entered the match eager to claim their second win of the season. However, it was Bofoakwa Tano who emerged victorious, with young attacker Saaka Dauda proving to be the hero of the day. Dauda capitalised on a defensive lapse by Hearts of Oak, punishing them with a crucial goal that would ultimately decide the outcome of the match.

The defeat marked another road setback for Hearts of Oak, who had previously opened their season with a similar 1-0 loss in Tamale. Coach Martin Koopman and his team will undoubtedly be disappointed with their inability to replicate the performance from the previous weekend when they secured a victory over Nsoatreman in Accra.
Bofoakwa Tano’s impressive start to the season continued, and they temporarily claimed the top spot in the league standings. Their return to the top flight after a 16-year absence has been nothing short of remarkable, and their fans have every reason to celebrate their team’s resurgence.
As Bofoakwa Tano basks in the glory of their latest victory, Hearts of Oak will be left to regroup and refocus as they seek to bounce back when they face Dreams FC next Sunday.
