Hearts overpower stubborn Allies

Accra Hearts of Oak yesterday continued their unbeaten run this season with a 3-2 win against Inter Allies in their  Premier League match played at the Tema Stadium.

A brace from substitute Musah Ibrahim and one by Isaac Mensah were all the visitors needed to overcome the tactically disciplined Inter Allies side, which confronted Hearts with a well- thought-out game plan which kept their goalkeeper, Kwame Baah, virtually on holiday for  most part of the game.

Inter Allies seized the midfield from the blast of the referee’s whistle, frustrating the Phobians’ attackers led by Sam Yeboah, who hardly shot at goal. Back from recess, Frederick Boateng’s volley from a cross in the 49th minute zoomed into the net  for the opener for the homesters.

The homesters  from then on looked more potent in attack and took the game to the Phobians  as they won  a free kick which was beautifully struck by Gockel Ahortor in the 65th minute.

Hearts then brought on  Musah Ibrahim and Foovi Aguidi for Cosmos Dauda and Eric Kumi and the subsitutions paid off with Ibrahim connecting a Yeboah pass home for the equaliser after Isaac Mensah had pulled one back in the 68th minute. Musah fetched the winner in the 89th minute after pouncing on a through ball.
