Social media was set ablaze by Ghanaian football fans and journalists after Accra Hearts of Oak’s victory in the preliminary round of the 2020/2021 CAF Champions League.
The Phobians booked their phase in the next phase of the CAF Champions League qualifying round after beating CL Kamsar 2-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, September 19, 2021.
Two late goals from striker Kofi Kordzi and midfielder Salim Adams were enough for the Phobians to beat the Guineas to set up a tie with two times African champions Wydad Casablanca.
The victory on Sunday was well celebrated by Ghanaians as some sports journalists couldn’t hide their admiration for the Accra Hearts of Oak team.
They celebrated Kofi Kordzi’s 83rd free-kick goal as the real deal-breaker for the Phobians at a time when they were drawing the game.

Samuel Boadu’s tactical substitution did the magic for Hearts of oak. We should keep an eye on this man.

There’s a reason 18% of Hearts of Oak’s 45 goals in the GPL last season came in the last 10 minutes of games. They literally never say die.#CAFCL pic.twitter.com/XcEswISc2v

Hearts of Oak having fundamental issues in their buildup. Their lack of width means they can’t create overloads like they do in the GPL. Front three too narrow#CAFCL
