Mahatma Otoo scored a second half equaliser that lifted Hearts of Oak out of the bottom three of the Glo Premier League on Sunday.

The goal by the former national U-20 captain handed the Phobians a share of the spoils in their 1-1 draw with leaders, Medeama at the T&A Park.

Joseph Gordon put Medeama ahead in the 29th minute as the Mauves started strongly before an expectant home crowd.

The socreline stayed at 1-0 in the first half though the Phobians came close to drawing level before the half ended.

But in the second half, the tide swung in Hearts' favour before Otoo struck the equaliser, his eighth goal in the Premier League this season.
