2025/26 Ghana Premier League Match Report: 10-man Hohoe United hold Hearts of Oak to 0-0 draw in Accra
Ten-man Hohoe United held giants Hearts of Oak to a goalless draw in the opening fixture from the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season on Friday.
It was really a good start for the two sides, while Hearts of Oak focused on possession in the early stages, Hohoe United made their early goal intentions very clear.
The visitors came close to opening the scoring account in the 22nd minute after captain Safian Usman found Kwadwo Boamah on the right flanks but his effort went wide. Few minutes later, he set up Abass Ganiu in the box but the latter had his brave header tipped off brilliantly by Benjamin Asare to a wasted corner kick.
Hearts of Oak also came close in some few occasions but couldn’t make good use of them after Hussein Mohammed missed at a close range and also Amankwah Baafi failing to score from a free-kick at a very good position as it finished goalless at half-time.
The Volta Region side played a large part of the second half with 10 men after Solomon Agbasi was sent off for his second Yellow Card on 76th minutes.
The stalemate leaves both sides with a point apiece. For Hohoe, it marks a promising introduction to life in the top tier, while Hearts will see it as a missed opportunity to set the tone for their title ambitions.
