Accra Hearts of Oak secured a vital 1-0 victory over Nations FC in their Ghana Premier League clash at the Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex.
The decisive moment came early, with Mawuli Wayo striking in the 11th minute after linking up well with Hussein Mohammed to give the visitors the lead.
Hearts of Oak controlled much of the contest, displaying defensive discipline and organisation to protect their advantage. Their structured backline limited Nations attacking threat, forcing the hosts into low-quality chances.
Nations FC, who were seeking points to ease relegation concerns, responded with urgency but lacked the cutting edge in the final third to find an equaliser.
The victory keeps Hearts firmly in contention for a top-three finish, while Nations remain under pressure as the league campaign approaches its decisive final stretch.
