Hearts of Oak’s hopes of returning to winning ways in the First Capital Plus Premier League suffered another setback after their Match day 5 game against Liberty Professionals ended in a 1-1 draw at the Accra Stadium.

Tamimu Muntari scored first for Liberty in the 13th minute before Richard Yamoah gave the home-side an equalizer six minutes to fulltime.

The result leaves the Phobians just a point above the relegation zone ahead of their crucial clash against their arch rivals Asante Kotoko in Kumasi on Saturday.

Coach Herbert Addo’s side have not won a match since the opening day of the season when they beat newly promoted side WAFA by a lone goal.

Liberty on the other hand are just a point away from making it into the top four with 8 points from five games.
