Hearts of Oak Aboubakar Ouattara says he knew his outfit secure victory against Nsoatreman FC in the Ghana Premier League matchday 19.
Despite falling behind early, the team showed great resilience and determination to secure a 2-1 win away from home.
The home team took advantage of this and scored the opening goal through Walid Neymah Fuseini in the 23rd minute.
However, Ouattara's halftime tactics proved effective as Hearts of Oak came out stronger in the second half.
Salifu Ibrahim's deflected effort beat the goalkeeper to level the scores, and eight minutes later, Ivorian forward Cisse Kassim scored a fine goal following a brilliant build-up play.
“We played bad in the first half but in the second half, I told the boys to try and change because we saw some mistakes in the defense, I try to correct that and by the grace of God we got the chance to score two goals”
“I knew we would win despite falling behind early. I told them in the dressing room that we can win 3-1 but we missed a lot of goals” he said.
Hearts of Oak moved up to seventh place in the standings with 27 points.
