The match between Ashgold and Accra Hearts Oak has shattered the record for most views of a Ghana Premier League match which was hitherto held by Kotoko’s match against Techiman Eleven Wonders.
Over 54,000 people are said to have watched the game on the StarTimes App which is the highest in the Ghana Premier League this season.
Kotoko and Wonders set the benchmark when they pulled 42,000 views in their 1-1 drawn game in the opening week of the competition.
The 54,000 fans certainly had a great time as the two teams produced a display worth mentioning.
Ashgold were on the front seat in terms of possession in the opening minutes but Hearts grew into it and drew first blood through striker Kwadwo Obeng Jnr.
Hearts managed to send their lead to half time but Ashgold responded quickly in the second half to draw parity through a Hans Kwoffie goal.
As the game wore on, Patrick Razak went on a solo run before teeing up with Kwadwo Obeng Jnr with a sweet cross that fetched the Phobians their second goal of the day.
Hearts looked to have stolen the three points until a brilliant team move by Ashgold was finished off by Hans Kwoffie for his second of the day.
The goal ensured that both teams left the Accra Sports Stadium with a point each as Hearts were left to rue the glorious chances they missed during the first half in particular.
