Post match: Lack of concentration cause of defeat - Herbert Addo

Head Coach of Hearts of Oak, Herbert Addo has attributed his side's 2-1 home loss to Sekondi Hasaacas on match day 21 of the First Capital Plus Bank Premier League to lack of concentration.

The Phobians had a shock they never anticipated as they conceded two goals within 5 minutes in the first half of the game; thanks to Emmanuel Ankobea sheer brilliance on the day.

The former premier league champions did everything within their power but only managed to pull one back in the second half.

'…unfortunately our concentration was very bad and they punished us for that and that is the luck aspect of the game,' Herbert Addo said in the post-match.

He continued-'After conceding the goals we were over anxious to score goals and goal scoring has been our problem this year, in fact this match everybody in the club has done his part and I kept on telling the players the only way they can do their part is to get onto the field and perform and win; everything was prepared for a win and we will be having a serious talk to the players to tell us why they are not doing their part'.

However, the veteran trainer reserved his comment with respect to Hasaacas' second goal which brought a lot of talking at the stadium as the Phobians believe it was an offside.

'The second goal I have no comment because I saw a total different thing to what the assistant line 2 [Badium Alhassan] saw so for that one I will not make any comment,' he ended.

The Phobians after the defeat now sit at the 12th position with 26 points.
