Hearts coach Frank Nuttall says he anticipated a tough challenge in their game against Medeama SC on Sunday.
The Phobians lost 1-0 to Medeama at the Tarkwa T and A park courtesy a goal from Francis Addo in the 67th minute.
According to Nuttal, he was delighted with the performances of his players despite missing several key players in the encounter.
“The game was a tightly fought contest, we defended very well apart from the goal conceded where we failed to react quicker. We had chances which we couldn’t convert and I always knew it will be a tight game," the Scottish trainer told reporters.
“Despite the absence of certain players, we have to give credit to the players who came in as they worked extremely hard and applied themselves very well on a whole and we demonstrated our potential to score more goals."
Hearts of Oak will square off against Inter Allies in the last game of the season at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, 22 October, 2017.
