Wa All Stars yesterday deepened the woes of Accra Hearts of Oak when they tore them into shreds with an emphatic 2-0 victory in their Glo Premier League match at the Wa Stadium.
Two spectacular goals from the feet of All Stars’ Nortey Frank Sowah and Ben Acheampong on the 18th and 69th minutes put the brakes on the visitors who had before the match sent signals of collecting all the three points at stake.
Playing as if possessed before an impressive home crowd which included the Upper West Regional Minister, Mr Mahmud Khalid, and the bankroller of All Stars and President of the Ghana Football Association, Mr Kwesi Nyantakyi, All Stars were better in every department of the game, compelling Hearts players to chase their shadows.
So ordinary were Hearts that Sowah capitalised on it to connect a beautiful diagonal cross from Nathaniel Asamoah with a thunderbolt past Philemon McCarthy in post for the visitors to end the first half.
When play resumed, All Stars again took the game to Hearts who could not find an antidote to the fluid ball possession and speed of the homesters, forcing the technical bench to make three intermittent substitutions by bringing on Tawrick Djibril, Moro Abubakar and Jonathan Mantey, but the trend did not change until Acheampong put Hearts beyond recovery.
Despite the fact that skipper Ismail Amin of All Stars was sent off with about 15 minutes to end proceedings, Hearts could not take advantage of the situation till the referee blew the final whistle amidst wild jubilation from the home fans.
