Hearts of Oak head coach, Abubakar Ouattara, has expressed his disappointment following his team’s goalless draw with FC Samartex in their Matchday 17 fixture.
The Phobians, aiming to extend their unbeaten streak, were held to a 0-0 draw at the Nsenkyire Sports Stadium on Sunday.
The result leaves Hearts of Oak in sixth place on the league table, two points behind their fierce rivals, Asante Kotoko.
In his post-match interview, Ouattara admitted that his team struggled to make the most of their opportunities to secure a victory.
“We wanted to win today, but unfortunately, we didn’t score. We didn’t create enough chances; we managed only one or two. Unfortunately, we didn’t play well enough to score,” said the Ivorian manager.
Ouattara also lauded the performance of Samartex goalkeeper Kofi Baah, whose crucial saves thwarted Hearts of Oak’s attempts to break the deadlock.
“I think the goalkeeper of Samartex did well, especially with one or two crucial saves, particularly the last one,” he added.
The Phobians will look to bounce back and return to winning ways when they host Berekum Holy Stars in their Matchday 18 encounter at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
