2021/22 GPL: Hearts of Oak begin title defense with stalemate against Legon Cities
Hearts of Oak started the Ghana Premier League title defense with a draw against Legon Cities.
Samuel Boadu and his charges hosted the Royals at the Accra Sports Stadium in the matchday one fixtures of the 2021/22 campaign.
The Phobians who dropped to the Caf Confederations Cup were hoping to kick off their season with a win at their own turf.
However, Maxwell Konadu and his side sat compact and compose to ensure their return home with a respected point.
Goalkeeper Eric Ofori Antwi delivered a man of the match performance.
Twice in the first half, they had the ball cleared off the line and Ofori Antwi, who literally begged Hearts to sign him during pre-season, made two top saves to keep the scoreline barren.
The second period was no different as Hearts created the best chances. Ibrahim Salifu hit the crossbar with a brilliantly taken free-kick.
Legon Cities threw caution to the wind in added time and nearly snatched victory. Hearts goalkeeper Richard Attah made two important saves.
