Champion Club, Accra Hearts of Oaks beat AS Douanes of Togo 4-1 in a pre-session international friendly match played at the Accra Sports Stadium on Wednesday.

The match which saw both teams creating numerous chances, had Hearts going ahead as early as the third minute when their Ivorien import Kwadjo Donatien sneaked through the Togolesse offside trap to beat Pesse Essouonna in post.

Hearts playing with a virtually new team, with as many as nine new recruits allowed their Togolesse counterparts a greater share of the game but the visitors could not convert any of the chances they created as they showed a lot of naivety in front of goal.

Hearts doubled the lead in the 30th minute with a beautiful glancing header by Osei Kofi who connected a cross from Donatien to the far corner of the net.

In the 43rd minute, Douanes reduced the tally when a bemused back line of Hearts stood still expecting an off side decision from the referee thereby allowing unmarked Atsu Gagnon to move into the penalty box unmarked to flick the ball beyond Eben Dida in post.

The second half which was not as keenly contested as the first saw Bernard Don Bortey, Osei Kofi and Mathew Atiogbe wasting chance after chance as complacency set in with every player wanting to score.

Osei Kofi put the game beyond the reach of the Togolesse when he scored his personal second and Hearts third in the 65th minute after former Kotoko striker Clovis Kambou had put him through.

With the match drawing to a close substitute George Eranio scored the fourth goal in the 87th with a well directed headed beyond Essouonna from a Steven Owusu pinpoint cross.
