Heart of Lions bounced back to winning ways with a narrow 1-0 victory against Swedru All Blacks at the Kpando Stadium on Sunday, March 8, 2026, in the Ghana Premier League.
The decisive moment of the contest came in the 33rd minute when Michael Ephson produced a brilliant free-kick to put the hosts ahead, a goal that ultimately proved enough to secure all three points for Bashiru Hayford’s side.
The victory marks an important turnaround for Heart of Lions, who had gone three matches without a win before Sunday’s encounter. Ephson’s moment of quality lifted the team’s confidence as they managed the game effectively after taking the lead.
Despite pressure from the visitors in the second half, the Kpando-based side remained organized at the back to protect their advantage until the final whistle.
The result moves Heart of Lions up from 12th to 10th on the league table with 33 points, providing a timely boost in their campaign.
For Swedru All Blacks, the defeat deepens their struggles as they slip into the relegation zone after failing to win any of their last three matches.
Swedru All Blacks will be hoping to halt their poor run when they welcome Hohoe United in their next league outing.
Heart of Lions, meanwhile, remain at home for another stern test as they prepare to face Accra Hearts of Oak in what is expected to be a fiercely contested clash.
