It is advantage Hearts of Oak in the playoff tie against JS Saoura in the CAF Confederations Cup after the Ghanaian giants defeated the side from Algeria 2-0 today.
The Phobians today hosted the side from Algeria at the Accra Sports Stadium keen on securing a win to bring back the confidence of the team.
Right from the start of the first half, Hearts of Oak made their intention for the game clear as they pushed men forward to try and get on the scoresheet as soon as possible.
