Hearts of Oak captain Fatawu Mohammed was left unhappy after his side lost 1-0 to Berekum Chelsea in their opening game of the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League season on Sunday.
A lone goal from Jonah Attuquaye condemned the Phobians to their first defeat of the new season at the Accra Sports stadium.
"I didn’t find the game easy because it has been a long time I get much playing time. It wasn’t easy but as time goes on it will adapt", the full-back told reporters after the game.
"I am very sad because first much defeat is very very painful but it is part of football so we have to focus on our next game and continue."
Moahmmed, who recently signed a two-year contract extension with the club has been one of the consistent performers of the club for the past season.
Hearts of Oak will travel to Tarkwa to face Medeama in their second league outing.
