The win was Medeama’s second away victory on the road, while it was Hearts of Oak’s fourth (4) home league defeat and the last home lose.

Hearts of Oak are yet to play a home league game, since then. They had scored in every home game, but the 0-1 defeat to the Yellow and Mauves side meant they were denied the opportunity to put a ball at the back of the net for the first time last season.
