Hearts of Oak head coach, Samuel Boadu, says they are on course of defending their Premier League title despite their defeat against Asante Kotoko.
The Phobians were pipped by a lone goal over the weekend in the matchday 24 games at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Cameroonian forward, Franck Mbella scored from a spot-kick to seal the three points for the Porcupine Warriors.
The defeat leaves Hearts of Oak at the 6th position with 36 points.
In his post-match presser, the ex- Medeama SC gaffer has refused to accept defeat in a good faith and still believes his side would have carried the day with fair officiating.
“We want a beautiful Ghana football so if you beat me at your venue I don’t have a problem,” he said after the game.
