Liberty Professionals inflicted upon Hearts of Oak their third defeat at home and of the season as a 17th minute strike from Issah Mohammed Shaibu was the only goal of the game.
The Dansoman based side dominated the game from the blast of referee George Lamptey’s whistle as they stringed their beautiful passes together and bossed their host through the entire duration of the game.
In the 17th minute, Liberty with their possessive style of play stringed together three passes and a quick one-two pass between Ebo Mends and Latif Blessing saw the former lay a through pass laid to Issah Mohammed Shaibu who was left in on goal alone and he brilliantly hit a powerful shot pass the on rushing goalkeeper, Samuel Akrugu.
Hearts after conceding appeared to have been angered as they piled up the pressure in the quest to find the equaliser and enjoyed their best spell of the game for 15-minutes. Chief tormentor of Liberty, Latif Blessing lived up to the hype prior to the game as he stretched apart Hearts centre back pairing of Vincent Atinga and Robin Gnagne who had a difficult time containing the diminutive attacking midfielder.
Liberty’s midfield pair of Gerald Arkson and Ebo Mends controlled affairs as Mustapha Essuman had a day to forget in the office.
There were pocket of chances for the Phobians who knew a win or draw will see them regain top spot from Wa All Stars but huffed and puffed but could not find the equaliser as the result meant Kenichi’s side are poor at home.
