The Head Coach of Accra Hearts of Oak, Nebojša Kapor, says his side must improve in certain areas despite securing an impressive 3-0 victory over Heart of Lions in their Ghana Premier League Matchday 10 encounter at the University of Ghana Stadium in Legon.

Kapor recorded his sixth win of the season on Sunday as the Phobians comfortably dispatched visiting Heart of Lions, with John Antwi scoring twice and Ransford Mensah adding a third to seal all three points.

Despite the convincing score, Kapor was not entirely satisfied with his team’s performance, particularly their tactical approach, defensive organisation and inability to convert more of the scoring opportunities that came their way.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, the Serbian trainer admitted that while he was pleased with the result, there were aspects of his team’s display that left him disappointed.

“The final score was very good, but I’m not happy with some opportunities we missed.”

“I’m not satisfied with how we tactically approached the game in the first half, particularly in the defensive phase, but I’m sure the players are aware, and we will improve this,” he said.

According to Kapor, the fans expect more from his players as the season progresses, and the team will have to work even harder to make them happy.

He also praised the supporters, describing them as a strong pillar in the club’s quest to win the ultimate prize and urged them to continue offering their support.

The Phobians will next travel to the Nsenkyire Sports Arena in Samreboi to face fourth-placed Samartex FC on Matchday 11.

Coach Kapor described the encounter as a 100 per cent difficult game, citing the long journey to Samreboi and the quality of the Samartex side, who currently sit fourth on the league table, just two points behind Hearts.

“It will not be an easy game, we really have to prepare well and face the opposition in the best way we can and celebrate in the end,” he added.
