Hearts of Oak suffered a shock 1-0 defeat in their Ghana Premier League opener, losing to newly promoted Basake Holy Stars today at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Despite controlling the majority of the game, Hearts of Oak were unable to break through the resilient defence of the league newcomers. Out of their 15 goal attempts, only three were on target, with Basake goalkeeper Abdul Wahab Abubakari pulling off key saves to secure the clean sheet.
Holy Stars will now look to build on their momentum as they face Dreams FC in their next fixture.
