Hearts apologise to fans after Elmina Sharks stalemate

-

Accra Hearts of Oak have rendered an unqualified apology to the supporters of the club following their 1:1 with Elmina Sharks.

Fans of the Phobian club were left disappointed as their dwindling performance continues.

A goal each within the space of 13 minutes from Dennis Mensah of Sharks in the 25th minute and Kofi Kordzi in the 38th minute was all both sides needed to settle scores.

While Mensah profited from a loose ball from behind the box to hit one past former teammate Richard Attah in post for Hearts of Oak, Kordzi was left unmarked in the box and had all the time in the world to nod home a cross from close range.

Back from recess, the two teams created a number of scoring opportunities but failed to convert any for the match-winner.
