West African Football Academy(WAFA) ended their winless games against Hearts of Oak in grand style by smashing the Phobians into bits at the WAFA Arena in Sogakope in the Ghana Premier League on Saturday.
In a stocky opening 45 minutes, the Academy Boys smashed the Phobians into smithereens.
.While WAFA went rampaging in the afternoon, the exciting Ghana youth starlet Majeed Ashimero whiffed his injury return with a slaloming pile driver that brought out a world-class save from Soulama Abdoulaye.
WAFA manager Akakpo Patron stuck to his favourite 4-3-3 formation featuring Ghana U20 midfielder Martin Antwi and Togolese Komla Agbegniadan.
WAFA took the lead against the run of play in the 3rd minute. Komla Agbegniadan controlled a pass inside the box and resisted a challenge to plant a firm right-footed drive to the far left with Soulama Abdoulaye completely beaten.
Charles Boateng later released a non-dropped volley which sailed through Soulama Abdoulaye’s legs. Charles Boateng’s strike becomes his 6th strike and by that virtue becomes WAFA’s leading scorer.
In the final severing play-out, Agbegniadan was as usual lethal. He forced a drive which came off Soulama before skating into the net.
Cosmos Dauda was introduced to replace midfielder Leonard Tawiah but failed to make impact. The Nigerian came close in the 54th minute after hassling his way through two defenders but his kick let him down.
With more than a quarter of an hour left, WAFA comforted themselves and reduced the game to a mere training session.
The massive loss has put Hearts’ title ambitions under a threat and dented their unbeaten away record.
