Tema Youth has become the latest victim to suffer defeat against Ghana Premier League champions Hearts of Oak.

The Phobians on Friday morning earned a win over the division One League side in a friendly.

Strikes from Emmanuel Nettey and Patrick Razak on either side of the half saw Samuel Boadu's charges recorded a 2-0 win at the Legon Ajax Park.

The victory means Hearts of Oak have now scored five goals in two games and are yet to concede a goal.
