Hearts of Oak’s quest for a flying start to the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League campaign ended in frustration after they were held to a goalless draw by newcomers Hohoe United at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday night.
The Phobians, who dominated possession through Abdul Karim’s midfield control and Frank Abora Duku’s attacking threat, looked poised for victory but failed to convert their chances.
Hohoe’s debut took a dramatic twist in the 67th minute when Solomon Adomako was sent off after receiving a second yellow card. Despite being reduced to 10 men, the visitors stayed organized at the back, with captain Osman Safian leading a disciplined defensive effort.
While Hearts pushed hard for a breakthrough, Hohoe’s resilience kept them at bay, forcing the pre-season favourites to settle for a share of the spoils. For Hohoe United, the result signaled a strong introduction to top-flight football, while Hearts were left to rue a missed chance to kick-start their title charge.
