Following their league clash at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, Hearts of Oak assistant coach David Ocloo commended Kotoku Royals’ coach John Eduafo for his team's impressive performance despite being at the bottom of the table.
Kotoku Royals, fueled by their recent victory over Bechem United, gave Hearts a tough competition, and the game remained even until the 96th minute when Caleb Amankwah scored the winning goal for Hearts.
Ocloo, who had previously worked as an assistant coach for former Kotoko gaffer Prosper Narteh Ogum alongside Eduafo, expressed his satisfaction with the outcome and acknowledged the challenge posed by Kotoku Royals' current position.
"I knew it would be a difficult game because they are below us in the league and would come at us with multiple efforts, and that is exactly what they did. Kudos to John Eduafo. He has done an excellent job, and his boys played exceptionally well. However, let's not forget that we are the 'never say die' lads," Ocloo said after the match.
Hearts of Oak have remained unbeaten in their last three games under the leadership of David Ocloo. However, they are still behind Accra Lions and Bechem United on the table.
While the club's management is yet to decide on coach Slavko Matic following a dispute with some disgruntled fans, David Ocloo is expected to lead the team in their next match against Karela United at the Crosby Awuah Memorial Park on Saturday.
