Accra, Ghana (PANA) - Accra Hearts of Oak slipped to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Okwawu United in Ghana's Premier Football League but are still comfortable at the top while Afienya United's 2-1 loss to King Faisal has condemned them to relegation.
Hearts have 56 points, 12 more than Okwawu who have climbed to the second spot, while Afienya United have only 10 points with only five matches to play.

Five teams - Power FC, All Blacks, Dawu, Ghapoha and Bofoakwa - have between 30 and 27 points and any one of them could play first division football next season.
Bofoakwa's position was weakened by fellow strugglers, All Blacks, who beat them 2-0 while Ghapoha picked up a vital one point in its 1-1 draw with Kotoko.
Real Tamale United trounced Power FC 4-1 to deepen their relegation woes.
