Samartex

Hearts of Oak

FC Samartex and Hearts of Oak played out a 0-0 draw at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena on Sunday 15 November 2026 in Matchday 11 of the Ghana Premier League allowing leaders Medeama SC to strengthen their position at the top of the standings.

The closely contested encounter ended without a breakthrough, leaving Hearts of Oak on 21 points and Samartex on 19 after 11 matches.

The result proved particularly costly for Hearts, with Medeama securing a 2-1 away victory over Young Apostles to extend their lead to three points.

Samartex maintain unbeaten home record

Samartex entered the encounter having won four and drawn one of their opening five home matches while Hearts of Oak arrived with the league's strongest defensive record.

Neither team managed to find the decisive goal, with both sides eventually settling for a point.

The result extended Samartex's unbeaten home sequence to six league matches, although the hosts missed an opportunity to move closer to the summit.

Hearts, meanwhile, registered another clean sheet, taking their tally to eight in 11 league matches.

Despite their defensive consistency, the Phobians failed to build on last weekend's impressive 3-0 victory over Heart of Lions.

As Foot Africa highlighted before kick off, the encounter offered both clubs an opportunity to strengthen their title ambitions.

Instead, the draw benefited their closest rivals.
