Hearts of Oak Defeat King Faisal in Accra on April 29th , 2023 : Hearts of Oak recorded their 12th victory of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season after edging out King Faisal FC on Saturday night in a Week 29 encounter.

Playmakers Salifu Ibrahim and Linda Mtange scored two quick-fire late goals to defeat the Insha Allahu Side at the Accra Sports Stadium. The defeat was the second for new Faisal head coach Ignatius Osei Fosu.

In the 90 + 2 minute , Dennis Korsah delivered a great ball once again into the King Faisal area. Albert Eonde miskicked his attempt but Congolese playmaker Linda was at the right place at the right time to slot home the second of the night for David Ocloo’s side.
