Soccer-Hearts whack Bofoakwa 4-0

Accra (Greater Accra), 12th July 99 ?

 

Two goals each by Joe Fameyeh and "wonder boy" Ishmael Addo, helped Accra Hearts of Oak to dismiss visiting Tano Bofoakwa 4-0 in their ABC Golden Lager Premier football league match played at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.

The Phobians could have made a bumper harvest in the match but striker Osumanu Amadu threw most of the scoring chances away before he was substituted in the second half.

Hearts kicked off but it took them some time to find their rhythm and when they did midfielder Charles Allotey made the first goal attempt with a left footer shot which sailed over the cross bar.

In the 17th minute Amadu had one of the finest opportunities to put Hearts ahead but with only goalkeeper Damba Mohammed to beat the bulky striker shot wide.

But Amadu managed to set Fameyeh up in the 21st minute as he tapped the ball into an empty net for Hearts' opener.

After that goal, Fameyeh became a target of rough play and in the 28th and 32nd minutes, Ashanti Manpong-based class one referee, Alhassan Brobbey had showed the yellow card to defenders Kwame Antwi and Nana Gyanfi respectively, for reckless tackle.

Hearts brought on Addo for Amadu at the commencement of the second half. He partnered beautifully with Fameyeh and play-maker Yartey and gave the defence of the visitors a lot to worry about.

Fameyeh increased the tally to two in the 65th minute with an tapped the ball into the net after it dropped onto his path following mid-air tussle between Addo and goalkeeper Mohammed.

Two minutes later, Yartey put Addo through to head home the third goal and in the 82nd minute he scored his personal second and the fourth for Hearts.

The visitors never posed any serious challenge to Hearts except in the last three minutes of the game but they could not score.
