Asante Kotoko head coach Eric Tinkler says his side still have plenty of work to do despite securing a 2-1 victory over Heart of Lions in the Ghana Premier League.
The Porcupine Warriors ended their winless run against the Kpando-based side with a victory at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday.
It was Kotoko's first win in six meetings against Heart of Lions, but Tinkler admitted he was not entirely satisfied with his team's performance.
“We made things very difficult for ourselves,” the South African said after the match.
“You can see Heart of Lions are a good team; they created chances, but we managed the game, and we created our chances.
“Overall, there is still a lot of work we have to do defensively. We struggled even when we played against 10 men.”
Tinkler acknowledged that his team did not produce their best performance but was pleased to leave with all three points.
“Today we won ugly, but we will take the three points and move on,” he added.
The victory lifts Kotoko to fourth place with four points from their opening two matches.
