We will overturn first leg results against ASR Bamako - David Ocloo assures Hearts of Oak fans

Published on: 12 October 2022

Hearts of Oak assistant coach, David Ocloo, has assured that his side can overturn the 3-0 defeat in the first leg of their CAF Confederation Cup qualifying game against Malian side AS Real Bamako.

The Ghana Premier League giants must record a 4-0 win over more to be able to play the next round of the competition.

The Phobian Club will host the Malian side at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday for the return leg.

In the absence of a substantive head coach, Ocloo will be in charge of the game, having also taken charge of the first leg, only four days after he was announced as assistant coach.

"This is a no-match. I can confidently say we can turn this around," the former Asante Kotoko assitant trainer said.

"We played well. We created a lot of chances but no clinical. We are going to right the wrongs. They are beatable,” he added.

Since winning the inaugural edition of the CAF Confederation Cup in 2004, Hearts of Oak have failed to qualify for the group stages, despite previously playing in the qualifying series in 2016 and 2021.
