Premier League: Winless streak continues for Hearts of Oak after home loss to Nations FC
Defender Razak Simpson scored a sensational piledriver for Nations FC in their 1-0 win over Hearts of Oak at the Tuba Astro Turf on Thursday April 3, 2025.
The visitors broke the deadlock in the 57th minute when the Black Stars defender capitalised on a defensive lapse, controlled the ball, and fired a powerful volley into the net.
The Phobians endured another frustrating afternoon as they suffered their seventh defeat of the season.
The latest setback extends Hearts of Oak’s winless run to four matches, putting coach Aboubakar Ouattara under huge pressure.
The result also sees them fall further behind league leaders and rivals Asante Kotoko, who now hold an eight-point advantage.
Nations FC’s victory moves them back into the top four as they continue their strong campaign, while Hearts have slipped to 6th position with 37 points.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) and all the clubs participating in this weekend’s competitions will pay special tribute in honour of the memory of the late Dominic Frimpong of Berekum Chelsea FC (on loan from Aduana FC).
The GFA has in a statement announced that all the players and team officials of the 6 clubs playing this weekend competitions will wear black armbands on their jerseys as a mark of respect during their respective matches.
In addition, a minute of silence will be observed before the commencement of each game in his honour. This tribute will take place during the MTN FA Cup semi-final matches as well as the Women’s Premier League final scheduled for this weekend.
“The GFA counts on the full cooperation of all clubs and the fans in respectfully observing these arrangements as we collectively pay tribute to Dominic Frimpong,” the statement added.
The FA expressed appreciation to all stakeholders for their understanding and support in these times.
