HEARTS SNATCH CRUCIAL AWAY WIN (BACK PAGE, OCT 4, 2010)

Accra Hearts of Oak halted their recent poor run at the Sunyani Coronation Park yesterday when they triumphed 1-0 over B.A. Stars in their fifth week Glo Premier League encounter.
Hearts’ first away victory of the season, courtesy Uriah Asante’s 66th minute strike, was a big relief to Coach Paa Kwesi Fabin, who was under pressure to stem the tide.
Asante latched on to a loose ball punched into play by goalkeeper Mohammed Nurudeen from a Douglas Nkrumah free-kick.
Cheered on by their vociferous fans, the Phobians continued to probe for more goals but Nkrumah’s 73rd minute effort was saved by goalie Nurudeen.
There was a temporary hold-up after 88 minutes when Kumasi-based class one referee, Patrick Kojo Kyerematen, disallowed a Joseph Halm goal for B.A. Stars following an infringement on Hearts’ keeper Sammy Adjei who saved some sticky situations for the Phobians.
