Kpando Heart of Lions head coach, Bashir Hayford, has seemingly blamed windy conditions for his team’s 2-0 loss to Accra Great Olympics in the Ghana Premier League.
The GPL matchup was played out at the WAFA Park with Olympics’ forward Yusif Abdul Razak scoring a brace to settle the tie. Razak scored in the sixth and 63rd minute respectively.

“The performance wasn’t bad only that I told you from the beginning that the only disadvantage is the wind. It is very difficult to play against the wind and even for the wind.

Heart of Lions missed out on winning back to back games with the loss to Olympics.
