Hearts of Oak still on course to retain GPL title - Samuel Boadu

Hearts of Oak head coach Samuel Boadu says the Phobians are still on course to defend the Ghana Premier League title despite losing 1-0 to arch-rivals Asante Kotoko on match week 24.

The Porcupine Warriors were awarded a penalty by referee Paddy after Fabio Gama was fouled in the box by Hearts midfielder Nurudeen Aziz at the Baba Yara stadium on Sunday.

Franck Mbella Etouga stepped up to take the resulting spot kick as he sent goalkeeper Richmond Ayi the wrong way, taking his season tally to 16 goals.

“We want a beautiful Ghana football so if you beat me at your venue I don’t have a problem.

“But let’s make sure that good football will flow so that every Ghana will be happy for our league,” Samuel Boadu told StarTimes after the game.

“Such a big game with such decisions sometimes makes things difficult for us.”

He added, “Let’s play a fair game, good football and let’s see, those who came here are witnesses to Hearts of Oak’s good football so it shows. Until it is over we are still on course.”

The defeat sees Hearts of Oak drop to 6th on the league table with 36 points.
