Match Report: Hearts of Oak suffer chastening defeat to Berekum Chelsea on the road
Berekum Chelsea questioned Hearts of Oak title winning credentials with a colossal 4-2 win at the Essipong Stadium on Wednesday in the Ghana Premier League Week Two fixture.
The Blues had to play their home match in far away Sekondi due to a Ghana Football Association ban.
Stephen Baffour, who claimed the opening goal in the 1st minute after exploiting a weakness in the Hearts defence, outshone Gilbert Fiamenyoh who also scored a double.
He had fired the Blues ahead in the 1st minute after Abraziz Abankwah committed a howler from a Chelsea throw-in.
Gilbert Fiamenyoh enhanced his scoring credibility by scoring his second goal in two games with an 18 minute goal.
Fiamenyoh then took his tally to three goals as Hearts continued to cruise and further harass their opponents.
But Chelsea came into the game strong with Kofi Owusu levelling the scoring the 67th minute after yet another poor defending by the Hearts defence.
Baffour put Chelsea ahead once more with a 73rd minute before Bennett Ofori put the game beyond the Phobians by delivering the sucker punch in the 89th minute.
Hearts have still not improved their records against the Berekum-based side.
