Hearts of Oak's hopes of taking second in the Glo Premier League took a blow after the team could only register a disappointing 0-0 draw with Ebusua Dwarfs on Sunday.

The outcome of the game at the Accra Sports Stadium could have been different for the Phobians as goalkeeper Sammy Adjei pulled a number of saves in the second half to keep them in the game.

C.K Akunnor's side are third on the table and 15 points adrift leaders and rivals, Asante Kotoko, who are closing in on a record 22nd title.

The campaign has five games remaining with the Phobians away to New Edubiase next in Bekwai.
