Accra Hearts of Oak has moved to fifth position on the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League (GPL) table after securing their first back-to-back victory of the season with a lone goal triumph over Vision FC.
Mawuli Wayo’s second-half strike for the Phobians helped them earn the narrow 1-0 win over Vision FC at the University of Ghana Stadium.
This follows last week’s impressive 0-2 away triumph over Medeama in Tarkwa, signalling a strong resurgence for the Accra-based side.
Looking ahead, Hearts will aim to build on this momentum as they prepare to face Karela United in their next fixture, hopeful of closing the gap further in the title race.
Vision, meanwhile, will look to regroup after a disappointing night, setting sights on a comeback performance against Dreams FC.
Meanwhile, arch-rival Asante Kotoko are without a win in their last three Premier League matches.
Asante Kotoko once again lost 1-0 against Bechem United on Sunday. Kofi Tompuo’s spectacular volley in the 27th minute separated the two teams at the Nana Gyeabour Park in Bechem.
The Porcupine Warriors have dropped out of the top four as they now lie 6th in the table, below Hearts who are in fifth place.
Elsewhere, Bibiani Gold Stars FC maintained their unbeaten run in the Premier League as they shared a goalless draw with Young Apostles FC at the Wenchi Stadium on Sunday.

The home side dominated possession as expected, but were tested by the visitors on several occasions at the Nana Abrefa Nketiah VII Stadium in Wenchi as the two teams shared the spoils.
The Bibiani-based side are top of the table with 20 points from 10 games, while Young Apostles have slipped to 14th in the table.
