2025/26 Ghana Premier League: Week 31 Match Report - Nations FC 0-1 Hearts of Oak

Hearts of Oak secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Nations FC in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday at the Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex, with Mawuli Wayo’s early strike proving the difference.

The decisive moment came in the 11th minute when Wayo capitalised on a well-worked move. The forward applied pressure high up the pitch before receiving a precise pass from Hussein, and he made no mistake, firing home to give Hearts an early lead.

Hearts maintained control for much of the contest, showing discipline and organisation to protect their advantage. Their defensive shape limited Nations’ attacking options, forcing the hosts into speculative efforts that failed to trouble the visitors.

Nations, who came into the match needing points to move further away from the relegation zone, showed urgency after conceding but lacked sharpness in the final third. Despite their efforts, they were unable to break down Hearts’ backline.

The result keeps Hearts firmly in the race for a top-three finish, while Nations remain under pressure as the season heads into its final stretch.
