  "account": "Hearts of Oak's three-match winning streak came to an end after a 1-0 loss to Debibi United at Debibi Presby Park. Debibi United's Sarkodie Demetrous scored the decisive goal in the 51st minute, propelling the Premier League newcomers out of the relegation zone. The Phobians missed the chance to extend their winning run, dropping to third in the league standings. The match began with Hearts displaying early promise, with Kader nearly breaking the deadlock in the eighth minute. Debibi also posed a threat, but Hearts' goalkeeper Benjamin Asare made an outstanding save to thwart a potential goal. Debibi continued their efforts, with Kader playing a key role in their attacks. In the 33rd minute, he delivered a cross to Emmanuel Amankwah, whose effort was effectively blocked by the Debibi defense. Hearts suffered an injury setback when Martin Karikari replaced Kader in the 46th minute. Five minutes later, Debibi scored through Sarkodie Demetrous, who took advantage of a moment of individual brilliance to put his team ahead. Hearts attempted to respond with a double substitution in the 57th minute, but Debibi nearly doubled their lead in the 60th minute when Asare made another crucial save. Hearts kept pushing for an equalizer, with Asmah setting up Baafi in the 68th minute, but the Debibi goalkeeper thwarted the attempt. Felix Otoboa replaced Emmanuel Amankwah in the 76th minute as Hearts made another attacking change. Despite five minutes of added time, Hearts failed to find a way past Debibi's defense, securing a memorable 1-0 victory.",
