Frank Abora Duku emerged the hero for Accra Hearts of Oak with a decisive first-half strike to seal a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Young Apostles FC in their Week 28 clash of the Ghana Premier League. The forward found the breakthrough in the 37th minute at the Accra Sports Stadium, calmly converting to hand the Phobians a much-needed lead.
Duku’s goal not only secured all three points but also marked his second in as many matches since the club’s return to their home ground, underlining his growing importance in the attacking setup. Hearts of Oak, who had struggled for form in recent weeks, showed renewed purpose and discipline, holding firm to protect their slender advantage against a determined Young Apostles side.
The victory carries added significance as it ends a frustrating six-game winless streak, offering a timely boost to the team’s ambitions in the closing stages of the season. The presence of Kurt Okraku in the stands added further weight to the occasion, as the Phobians delivered a performance worthy of the moment.
With the result, Hearts of Oak climb to third place on the league table, reigniting their push for a strong finish. As momentum begins to build at the Accra Sports Stadium, the Phobians will be eager to maintain their resurgence and keep the pressure on the teams above them.
