Former premier division campaigners, Heart of Lions made a winning start to life in the GN Bank Division One League (DOL) after beating Danbort FC 1-0 at the Nungua Town Park on Saturday in a Zone Three fixture.
Benjamin Adjetey scored the lone goal for the Kpando based side in the 36th minute to hand the visitors all three points as they seek to make a quick return to the Ghanaian top-flight after their relegation at the end of last season.
The game was a closely fought affair, but, Lions made their experience count on the day to record this victory on the opening day of the GN Bank sponsored national league.
The first half was a very tight affair with very few chances being created, and, a mix-up in the heart of the Danbort defence, allowed Adjetey to pounce on a loose ball to plant it beyond Christopher Okraku in post for the home side.
After the ball, Lions brought their experience to bear as Coach Ben Fokuo’s side imposed their authority on the game to close it to and end.
The best opportunity for the home side fell to Jonathan Kofie, but when faced with Assidinu Gbani in post for Lions, he shot over the bar to the displeasure of the home fans who went home disappointed with the result.
Lions will look to build on this victory in their quest to make a return to the top-flight in a zone that clearly the toughest among the lot.
