Hearts of Oak coach Didi Dramani has praised his team for maintaining composure against Asante Kotoko, despite being reduced to ten men.
In Sunday’s Super Clash at Baba Yara Stadium, the Phobian side secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over their fierce rivals. Baba Adamu’s 15th-minute header proved decisive, giving the Rainbow Club the edge.
Hearts of Oak, however, had to play the remainder of the match with a numerical disadvantage following Emmanuel Amankwah’s dismissal for a second yellow card.
“Hearts of Oak players were adaptive against Asante Kotoko because we kept changing after the red card, and we stuck to our structure,” Dramani told Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show.
The win lifts Hearts of Oak to second place on the Ghana Premier League table with 39 points, five behind leaders Medeama SC. The team will aim to extend their winning streak when they host Berekum Chelsea in Matchday 23 at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
