Accra Hearts of Oak ended their 12-year wait for a major silver ware after drawing 1-1 against Liberty Professionals on Sunday to win the Premier League. Hearts needed to beat Liberty to clinch the title regardless of the result in Bechem, however, Asante Kotoko’s defeat meant there was no way back for the Porcupine Warriors.

Daniel Barnieh scored in the first half but Liberty Professionals cancelled the lead in the 87th minute through Kwame Paul. The result ended Hearts of Oak’s long wait for a Premier League title their 21st in history.  The Phobians last won the League title in the 2008/09 season.

Bechem United scored two goals in the first half to beat Asante Kotoko 2-1 at the Fosu Gyeabuor Park. Steven Owusu was the hero of the day as his two strikes gave Bechem United all the spoils against the Porcupine Warriors.
