Hearts of Oak edged past Bechem United in a 3-2 win on the final day of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park in Bechem to avoid relegation.

For the first in time decades, the premier league giants looked set to miss out on the main division next season until a late strike from Yaw Amankwah proved otherwise.

Bechem's Emmanuel Osei opened the scoreline in the 29th minute raising tension all over the rainbow boys.
