Vision FC and Hearts of Oak produced a thrilling 1-1 draw on Sunday afternoon at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex in Tema Newtown, in a game that demonstrated the Ghana Premier League’s Round 27 competitive zeal.
The visitors, Hearts, took the lead in the 38th minute through defender Kelvin Osei Asibey.
Arriving highest from a set-piece, Asibey headed the ball over the Vision goalkeeper to give the Phobians a narrow advantage at the interval.
The advantage, however, did not last. Just three minutes into the second half, Vision responded through Meschack Sowah Adjetey, who netted with a composed finish following persistent pressure from the home side.
This determination infused more passion into Vision’s performance, and they looked the more threatening of the two teams as the game progressed in the second half.
Substitute Emmanuel Akansase nearly turned the score in Vision’s favour with a 60th-minute charge, but his low shot in the box brushed against the post and went narrowly wide.
The first half was well-balanced, but Vision appeared sharper in the second half.
Hearts will rue another away match without a win, while Vision will feel they did enough to claim all three points but will have to settle for a hard-earned draw.
