FC Samartex head coach Christopher Ennin
FC Samartex head coach Christopher Ennin admitted that an early error in their Ghana Premier League clash against Hearts of Oak disrupted his team’s game plan on Friday.
Hearts of Oak secured a narrow 1-0 victory at the University of Ghana Stadium in Legon, moving to 28 points and level with league leaders Aduana, who face Young Apostles on Sunday.
“It’s an error that gave them the goal because we conceded, and then it changed the entire game plan,” Ennin said.
“I think it’s something we still need to work on. The finishing aspect is also lacking. They are still young, we are building them, so I think we’ll get there.”
Samartex almost took the lead within two minutes when Christian Agyenim Boateng capitalised on a defensive lapse from Hearts’ Abdul Karim, only for his effort to strike goalkeeper Solomon Agbasi.
The Phobians responded quickly. Mawuli Wayo missed a clear chance in the fourth minute but soon forced a mistake from Roland Grippman, won possession inside the box, and squared for Hamza Issah, who calmly finished to hand Hearts the lead.
