Sensational Kessben FC last Sunday performed another giant-killing feat when they handed visiting Accra Hearts of Oak a painful 1-0 win in their Glo Premiership encounter at the Sekondi Stadium.
The victory, coming only a week after beating Asante Kotoko at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, put the new-look Kessben side in strong contention for the league title.
With only 11 minutes to go, enterprising striker Hans Kwofie ghosted through a boiling Hearts goalmouth to squeeze the ball past goalkeeper Sammy Adjei for the only goal of the match.
It was a sad end to another superb afternoon by former Ghanaian international goalkeeper Sammy Adjei whose heroics saved Hearts and raised the excitement of the game to dizzy heights.
Adjei displayed brilliant goalkeeping to block a close range shot from Kwofie in a close encounter on the 36th minute after defender Osei Bonsu had blundered in the 18-yard box.
Early in the game Kessben tactically dismantled the Phobian rhythm and kept dangerman Osei Pele out of the game, with veteran Joe Hendricks and Kwabena Edusei virtually eclipsing him, while Abdul Bashiru and Uriah Asante struggled to find their bearing.
Hearts’ trouble started when Coach Paa Kwesi Fabin replaced Pele, Asante and Bashiru with John Antwi, Tawrick Djibril and Douglas Nkrumah.
