We will finish on a high despite our slow start – Hearts coach Samuel Boadu

Head Coach of Hearts of Oak Samuel Boadu says it’s unfortunate his side did not start the season well.

Hearts of Oak drew 1-1 with Bechem United at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park in a tensed game.

The draw has seen Hearts of Oak remain in the top four with six games to go and their coach believes they will end season on a high.

“It’s quite unfortunate we didn’t start this season very well but we believe better things will happen before the season ends. We will just keep going and make sure that at the end of the season we lie in a better position,” Boadu said after the game.

Hearts of Oak and Bechem United started with real intensity and determination but it was Bechem United that took the lead.

A ball into the Hearts of Oak penalty area came off defender Mohammed Alhassan and fell kindly for Francis Acquah who blasted home from close range.

1-0 to Bechem United in the 30th minute and that pushed Hearts of Oak to surge forward and they grabbed the needed equalizer in first half added time as Suraj Seidu lifted the ball past the goalkeeper into the net.

There were no more goals produced in the game as it ended 1-1.

The draw means that Bechem United fail to close the gap on Kotoko again and now trail them 8 points as the Porcupines play tomorrow.

Hearts of Oak still keep their place on 3rd with 44 points.
