Hearts of Oak head coach, Samuel Boadu has expressed his excitement after ending the season with a trophy to finally secure a spot for Africa next season.
The Rainbow Club humbled the Hunters by 2-1 to emerge as champions of the MTN FA Cup for the record 12th time in their history.
Goals from center back Caleb Amankwah and Daniel Afriyie Barnieh cancelled out Emmanuel Avornyo's early lead to propel the 'Phobians' to a precious win to clinch the trophy.
Speaking in the post match presser, the enterprising gaffer highlighted on how important he is to at least end the season with a trophy and excited they have qualified for the Confederations Cup next season.
"I say a big thanks to Hearts of Oak family, board and everyone. It wasn't an easy task, being in the top wasn't it, the most important was to win the trophy and go to Africa but some didn't understand. Working, definitely they will be criticisms but kept us going."
"Bechem have a strong team, very young side, they are compact in midfield and on the flanks so we had to deploy a strategy to contain them. We decided to bring Obeng in the second half to hold them."
"No one is leaving as at now but definitely we will make some inclusions before the end of the season. We have qualified for Africa again and is the second consecutive seasons we are doing that so we've had a successful season." He added
