After the game, Rahim Bashiru asserted the players did not play according to the plan of the coach, hence the defeat.

“It was a very difficult game. We played so well in the first half. Medeama scored us from free-kick, we had same but we couldn’t convert”

“It’s a big worry to us. We have to go back and do a lot of corrections because in the second half the players didn’t play according to the coach game plan” he said.

Hearts of Oak have now dropped to the eleventh position on the Ghana Premier League table after 25 matches, accumulating 32 points.
