Legon Cities handed Hearts of Oak another defeat in the betPawa Ghana Premier League to pile more misery on the Phobians leaving them in a relegation dogfight with two games to go.

Hearts played Cities over the weekend looking to bounce back to winning ways but Kofi Kordzi scored the only goal of the game against his former side meant the Rainbow Club have now lost three consecutive league games.

However, Kordzi punished Hearts just before the first-half break.

In fact, with two games to go, the Phobians could be battling relegation as they are just five points above the drop zone.
