Hearts of Oak brought their three-game losing streak to an end on Saturday evening as they defeated Karela United.
The Ghana Premier League matchday 26 game took place at the Accra Sports Stadium with Hamza Issah bagging a brace.
The away side opened the scoring after just two minutes with Humid Dafie putting Karela in the lead.
But Issah had other ideas. The youngster scored his 10th goal of the campaign to level the score for the Phobians in the 28th minute.
Both teams went into the break with the score at 1-1.
Hearts boss made changes to his side in the 60th minute which included Salim Adams.
The midfielder went on to score the second goal three minutes later to put his side in the lead for the first time in the game.
The Accra-based outfit wrapped up the win in the 90th minute with Issah scoring from the penalty box to make it 3-1.
The result means Hearts now move to 10th on the league table and above Asante Kotoko who drop to 11th.
Karela, on the other hand, are just two points above the relegation zone.
