Accra Hearts of Oak SC secured a 1-0 victory over FC Samartex 1996 in match-week 16 of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League at the University of Ghana Stadium. Hamza Issah scored the decisive goal in the sixth minute, sending the home supporters into raptures.
Under the astute guidance of Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, Hearts of Oak are beginning to show genuine Premier League credentials. The victory marked their seventh league win of the season and capped a strong first-round run, with just one fixture remaining before the midway point of the campaign.
The Phobians displayed composure and defensive discipline to preserve their slender lead, frustrating a determined Samartex side and underlining their growing maturity in high-stakes encounters.
The win lifted Hearts of Oak to second place on the league table with 28 points, level with leaders Aduana Stars, who have played a game less. Samartex, on the other hand, dropped to sixth with 24 points.
Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Solomon Agbasi made several crucial saves to preserve the lead, while Samartex struggled to create clear scoring opportunities. The Phobians will look to build on their momentum when they face Medeama SC at the TNA Park in their next match.
