Vision FC delivered one of the most dramatic moments of the matchweek, snatching a 1-0 victory over Hearts of Oak SC deep into stoppage time at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex.

For long stretches, Hearts of Oak looked on course to secure a crucial away point. With the title race tightening and league leaders Medeama SC and rivals Bibiani Gold Stars FC both in contention, the Phobians needed at least a draw to keep pressure at the summit.

However, the decisive moment arrived in the 90+5th minute when Benjamin Kwarteng capitalized on a lapse in concentration to fire home the winner. The late goal silenced Hearts and sent the home fans into celebration, capping a resilient performance from Vision FC.

The result leaves Hearts of Oak third on 46 points after 29 matches, now trailing the top spot by seven points. It is a damaging setback in their pursuit of the title, particularly given the results elsewhere.

For Vision FC, the victory lifts them into mid-table security with 38 points, reinforcing their growing reputation as a side capable of unsettling the league’s elite.
