Liberty holds Hearts

Tema, Dec. 10, GNA=97 Scientific soccer lads, Liberty Professionals played one of their best games in recent times to hold Accra Hearts of Oak to a 1-1 drawn game in their Onetouch Premier League match played at the Tema Sports Stadium on Saturday.

Hearts, who took control of the game after Referee Osei Nsiah of Kumasi had signalled both teams into action, scored the opening goal through Ablade Morgan in the 11th minute when he capitalised on a defensive blunder to nod the ball home.

Liberty repulsed the attack and snatched the equalizer through a penalty converted by Tuah Khamix in the 26th minute when Kofi Nti Boakye was brought down in the box by Dan Coleman.

Hearts nearly went ahead in the 60th minute when goalkeeper Yaw Berko failed to grab a first time free-kick taken by Techie Menson but the rebound by Stanley Afedzie hit the upright to the relief of the fans.

Tuah Khames managed to put the ball into Hearts' net two minutes to full time but was ruled off-side by Referee Nsiah. Tuah was adjudged the best player of the match
