Speaking in a post-match interview, Coach Samuel Boadu said although Accra Lions played with 10 mean after that incident, Hearts of Oak also suffered.

“The red card didn't help both teams because we lost Obeng in the game. He was really working hard in the game and it was obvious he could have created more scoring chances,” Coach Boadu argued.

On the matchday, a brace from Daniel Afriyie Barnieh plus a strike from Isaac Agyenim Boateng propelled Hearts of Oak to secure a 3-0 win at the end of the 90 minutes.
