There were thousands of reactions to the Phobians’ showdown with their arch-rivals in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday
Ghana’s biggest game of the domestic football calendar lived up to its massive hype as Hearts of Oak edged Asante Kotoko 1-0 in a keenly contested matchday 31 action in the Ghana Premier League.
The game generated a lot of interest not only because it involved Ghana’s two biggest clubs or the two most successful clubs in GPL history, but also because with the two teams tied on points atop the table heading into the showdown, the winners were going to take a significant step towards the title.
In the end, it was the Phobians, led by coach Samuel Boadu, who left the Accra Sports Stadium with smiles as Daniel Barnieh Afriyie’s 66th-minute strike sealed the victory.
Unsurprisingly, there were lots of reaction on social media after the final whistle.

Hearts of Oak deserved this win thoroughly. Boadu outcoached Baretto thoroughly. Barnie scored but a complete team performance won the day. Kotoko got this wrong tactically. Hearts can sniff that title.

Samuel Boadu.
Love it when a local takes a team gives it such tangible transformation. Just reward for the immense work.

I spoke about this boy’s improvement and how scary he’s become. If @HeartsOfOakGH wins the league, he should be wrapped in gold.
What a player. He was just having fun in the biggest game of his club career. pic.twitter.com/rUDYyBpqEv

A part of Barnieh’s game that goes under the radar is how good his hold-up play is.
