David Ocloo commends Hearts of Oak players’ fighting spirit in Gold Stars draw

David Ocloo, the deputy coach of Hearts of Oak, has commended his team’s fighting spirit following their hard-earned 1-1 draw against Gold Stars at Dun’s Park.

Despite being on the brink of a defeat on Saturday’s BetPawa Premier League matchday 21, the Rainbows were rescued by Isaac Mensah, who ended Gold Stars’ defensive resilience with a late equalizer to cancel out Evans Owusu’s trademark strike.

When asked if he was pleased with the game’s outcome, Ocloo responded, “Yes. We started with a 4-2-3-1 formation in the first half, but we couldn’t contain them in the middle, so I had to adjust and switch to a 4-4-2 diamond in the second half, and you could see that we dominated play when we came back, and my boys were moving well. We had a clear penalty, but I don’t want to talk about it. The referee denied us.”

“This is the hallmark of a good team. We went down by a goal, but we fought back, and got a draw. I’m impressed, and kudos to the boys,” he said after the game.
