Hearts of Oak still in Ghana Premier League title race - David Ocloo

Published on: 27 March 2023

Hearts of Oak assistant coach David Ocloo has refused to give up on the Ghana Premier League title after defeat to Karela United.

The Phobians were handed their heaviest defeat this season by the Nzema based side who produced a dominant display in the game.

After the game, the former Asante Kotoko assistant coach asserted his outfit is still in the Ghana Premier League race and for that matter, will fight to the end.

“It is football; we are still in the race” he said.

Tanko Shaibu’s lads got off to a flying start with Emmanuel Boakye Owusu breaking the deadlock in the 17th minute.

Konadu Yiadom inadvertently turned the ball into his own net in the 32nd minute, giving Karela a two-goal cushion.

Hearts were reduced to 10 men after Rashid Okine was shown a straight red card just before half time.

Richard Berko scored in the 87th minute to wrap up a convincing win for Karela.

Hearts of Oak's title bid has suffered a significant setback, with the result leaving them in sixth place with 25 points after 23 matches.
