Accra Hearts of Oak have been crowned champions of the 2025 Gbese Mantse Charity Homowo Cup after beating Kpando Heart of Lions 2-0 on Sunday, August 17, 2025.
At the end of 90 minutes at the Accra Sports Stadium, two first half goals were enough for a dominant Hearts of Oak side to retain the trophy they won last year facing the same opposition.
The Phobians started the game with desire and hunger to put their opponents to the sword, and it paid off in the 36th minute when Ali Mohammed assisted Frank Duku to get the first goal.

Four minutes after the first, Frank Duku became the creator for striker Hamzah Issah to increase the tally of the Phobians before the break.
Hearts of Oak could have scored more in the second half, but Mawuli Wayo was not as clinical as his compatriots who took their chances in the first 45 minutes of the game.
The Phobians have now made amends for their defeat to rivals Asante Kotoko in the President’s Cup by defending the Gbese Mantse Charity Homowo Cup.
Both teams really gave each other a difficult opposition and will all use it as a perfect challenge to prepare for the upcoming GHALCA top four tournament which commences on Wednesday August 20, 2025.
Bibiani Gold Stars, Heart of Lions, Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts of Oak will face off in the GHALCA Top 4 tournament on Wednesday.
