Hearts of Oak swept aside Eleven Wonders with an emphatic 3–0 victory to climb temporarily into second place in the Premier League standings on Saturday

The Phobians wasted no time asserting their dominance, with Mawuli Wayo opening the scoring just eight minutes into the contest to set the tone for a pulsating display at the University of Ghana.

After sustained pressure, Martin Karikari doubled the lead in the 62nd minute, reacting quickest in the box to bundle the ball home. Kelvin Asibey then put the result beyond doubt, calmly converting a well-taken penalty to cap a polished attacking performance.

Hearts were impressive on both ends of the pitch, pairing their sharpest offensive showing of the campaign with a disciplined defensive display to secure a deserved clean sheet.

The victory keeps Hearts of Oak firmly in the title conversation and lifts them into second place, pending the outcome of Sunday’s fixtures. Attention now turns to a crucial clash with Bechem United as momentum continues to build.

Rooted to the bottom of the table, Wonders relegation fears deepen as they edge closer to a return to the Division One League. They will look to regroup quickly ahead of their next fixture against Young Apostles.
