Accra Hearts of Oak posted a comprehensive 3-0 win over Eleven Wonders in the Ghana Premier League on Saturday.

A first half goal from Mawuli Wayo and a double in the second by Martin Karikari and Kelvin Osei Asibey condemned Wonders to their 15th defeat of the season after 20 matches.

Hearts opened the scoring after eight minutes when Mawuli Wayo controlled Henry Kwaku Boateng's pass before rifling a low shot past Wonders goalkeeper Obengfo Adjei.

Two minutes later, Kwaku Boateng shocked the few Hearts fans in the stadium when he fired over from three yards despite facing an open goal.

It was a big let off for Wonders who slumbered their way through the opening quarter of an hour.

From then on, the match was reduced to a contest of mistakes as Hearts of Oak's Raphael Amponsah and Abdul Karim and Wonders's Obed Ofori and Emmanuel Boateng both aborted a series of attacks.

Just before the break, Hearts went close again when Frank Duku chose to pass instead of shooting from 8 yards out and his pass to Wayo was headed marginally over the bar.

In the second half, Hearts punished two mistakes in one sequence for their second goal.

First, Mawuli Wayo's harmless cross was spilled by Obengfo Adjei before his defenders made a mess of the clearance. But the finish was not straightforward as Kwaku Boateng and Hamzah Issa fluffed their lines before Martin Karikari finally poked it home.

Thirteen minutes from time, Hearts were awarded a penalty when Hamza Issa was brought down by Kenneth Boakye Owusu.

Two Hearts players; striker Hamza Issa and center back Ali Mohammed picked up separate balls to take the penalty kick.

But they quickly resolved to let Kelvin Osei Asibey take the penalty and he duly obliged, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way to put the result to bed.

Hearts have now moved to second place on 35 points, and could remain there by the end of the match week depending on other results.

Saturday's defeat leaves Wonders bottom of the league with 9 points, perilously close to the drop zone.
