Hearts always knew a tough away tie awaited them as traveled to the Golden City Park to face Berekum Chelsea, and Eric Bekoe's fourth minute goal started the punishment for the Phobians.
Another goal for Latif Salifu made sure that Hearts are just a place above the relegation zone after five rounds of matches in the league. After the game, Eric Bekoe told supersport.com that he was making good his pledge to honour Chelsea: "I am happy that I have a chance to play in the league considering all the events that nearly stopped me from getting a club. Getting goals is the only way to make sure I honour my employers."
This is Chelsea's ninth league match against Hearts since coming into the top flight. In all the premier league matches played between the two, the Phobians have won just once, with the Blues winning four. The rest finished in draws.
Most of the guys have played a lot of football for the better part of last year so there's experience. We will play one game at a time and try to do the business in our next games," Bekoe finished.
For Hearts, a paltry four points from a possible 15 means they are enduring a horrid start to a league as they've ever seen in their storied history. The Phobians will play Real Tamale United in Accra next and a loss will be terrible for Charles Akunnor.
