Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club head coach Aboubakar Ouattara has described his team’s 3-1 win over Berekum Chelsea as “difficult” despite Hearts bagging a 3-1 win over Chelsea.
He said this in a post-game presser after seeing Ramzy Yussif, Hamza Issah and Kwabena Boateng score in the win that had the Phobians bounce back from suffering a 1-0 loss to bitter rivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko.
Hearts were on course to record a goalless draw in Kumasi against Kotoko but a defensive mix up got Albert Amoah to score the winner in the 95th minute.
“Today, Chelsea gave us a difficult game and the score doesn’t reflect the game. We scored three (goals) it’s true but when you watched the game, it was 50-50. When we scored, Chelsea also got some chances…Chelsea have a good team they put us in difficult moments” Aboubakar said.
