Hamza Issah's early goal hands Hearts of Oak a narrow 0-1 win over Karela United in a what was a tricky Ghana Premier League week 11 clash at the Aliu Mahama Stadium.
This marks coach Aboubakar Ouattara and his men's three consecutive win in the league and are currently unbeaten in their last five away games.
It was a very explosive start for the 'Phobians' who surprisingly scored in just two minutes from kickoff through Hamza Issah who made a great run above his marker to struck into the bottom corner.
The home side never expected that and were left to throw more men forward and also apply so much pressure in search of a possible equalizer.
Karela United's quest to levelling the score before half time wasn't fulfilled as the scoreline stayed 0-1 for the away side at half time.
Back from recess, the Rainbow Club returned on another good note and took the game under total control but most of their efforts at goal were wasted.
Subsequently, the 'Pride and Passion' side also found their rhythm and made series of goal attempts but their inexperience attack were always wasteful in enemy territory.
In doing the six minutes additional time, Karela United hugely appealed for a penalty after their player fell in the opposition box but referee wasn't interested in that as he whistled to end proceedings.
It finished 0-1 for Hearts of Oak who have now extended their winning streak to three and are currently on the fourth spot with 18 points and will host Nsoatreman FC in the next round of matches.
Karela United are currently sitting at the foot of the league with just 9 points and will travel to Dreams FC next.
