Nsoatreman FC deputy coach Boniface Ayipah was left to rue missed chances in his sides defeat against Hearts of Oak in matchday 9 of the Ghana Premier League on Tuesday.
The Nsoatre-based club suffered their first home defeat when Hearts of Oak inflicted a 1-0 win over the Ghana Premier League debutants.
Kojo Obeng Jnr’s goal in the 54th minute settled the encounter on Tuesday afternoon as the Phobians climb to the second position.
Speaking after the game, Boniface Ayipah expressed his disappointment in the sides missed chances in the clash.
“Seriously we are not really happy that we’ve been defeated. We came up with a strategy because we knew it was Hearts of Oak we are playing, we knew their style of play so have to map up a strategy to be able to hold them and to take them on”
“In the first half we got glaring chances but we failed to bury the chances. It was unfortunate we couldn’t bury those chances and I think their coach too realize we are playing three back so he was pushing more men upfront and with that we had to talk to our midfielder to keep put but I think they didn’t get what exactly we were doing so they were able to get that chance”
Mohammed Gago’s side in their first home defeat of the season lost 1-0 to Hearts of Oak, and are currently placed 7th on the league standings.
They are away to King Faisal for their next league game on January 1, 2023.
