Hearts of Oak CEO Condemns Behaviour Of Supporters On Sunday

Chief Executive Officer of Hearts of Oak Mark Noonan has condemned the behaviour of their supporters during the second league of the 'Super 2 Clash' against rivals Asante Kotoko at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday.

The Accra based side were defeated 2-0 at the hands of the Porcupine Warriors, to record back to back losses against Asante Kotoko in the space of seven days - having lost by the same number of goals against their rivals last week.

Second half goals from striker Obed Owusu and Emmanuel Gyamfi sealed the victory for the Kumasi based side.

In the build-up to Porcupine's first goal, Hearts winger Patrick Razak was dispossessed off the ball in the Kotoko goal area by defender Agyemang Badu, which the fans believed should have merited a penalty but was waved off by referee Kwame Sefah.

The supporters of the Accra-based giants vented their frustration on the official and started throwing missiles onto the pitch which led to the arrest of seven of their fans.

In the aftermath of the match, Hearts of Oak chief took to his Twitter handle to condemned the actions of their teeming fans.

During yesterday's match, a group of supporters took out their frustrations by destroying public property and acting in a manner that is inconsistent with Club values. We condemn this unsporting behavior in the strongest possible manner and offer our sincere apologies. #AHOSC
