Hearts of Oak “unlucky and “unfortunate” to record ninth draw in 16 games- Bashiru

Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club assistant coach Abdul Rahim Bashiru says his team has been unlucky and unfortunate to record nine draws in 16 Ghana Premier League games.

He said this in a post game interview after Hearts played out a goalless draw with city rival Accra Great Olympics at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.

The latest Ga Mashie Derby was played in Kumasi due to the unavailability of the Accra Sports Stadium; the venue has been leased out for the December festivities forcing teams that use the facility to find temporal home venues.

In a related development, a video of the Accra Stadium grass getting cut up by bikers at a music concert went viral generating intense conversation over the use of facilities in Ghana. (Click highlighted text to view video)

Hearts have three wins, nine draws and four losses with two games remaining on the first half schedule for the Phobians.

“It’s rather unfortunate and we are unlucky because in the first half we had some decent chances about three for us to take the lead. We created chances but to put the ball inside the net that’s the problem.”

Hearts’ woes have largely been down to profligacy in front of goal and winger Enock Asubonteng’s shocking miss summed up the Phobians struggles in front of goal.
