Kofi Kordzi struck a last-gasp winner as Hearts of Oak clinched a dramatic 3-2 victory over Bechem United to boost their Premier League hopes.

The Hearts of Oak marksman showed resistance to power home the winning goal to snatch the three points for Edward Odoom's side after Hafiz Konkoni's 75th minute strike looked like earning Bechem United priceless point at the Accra Sports stadium.

The visitors were handed a penalty against the round of play as referee Bernard Dumfeh adjudged forward Randolf Augustine to be tripped in the box. Prince Adu Kwabena made no mistake as he placed the ball past goalkeeper Richard Attah.

The Rainbow Club found the equalizer in the 32nd minute after Bechem United defender Charles Bosompem handled the ball in the box. Striker Kofi Kordzi stepped up to plant his shot into the roof of the net.

Hearts of Oak deservedly shot into the lead in the 64th minute through captain Fatawu Mohammed who hit a thunderbolt after he was set up from a corner kick.

The result took Hearts of Oak to 7th with 15 points while Bechem United remained 9th with 14 points after 10 round of games.
