Asante Kotoko head coach, Mariano Barreto has attributed Sunday’s Super clash loss against archrivals Hearts to a single error on their side.

The Porcupine Warriors lost 1-0 to rivals Hearts of Oak in the match-week 31 fixture at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Daniel Barnieh Afriyie scored the decisive goal on 66 minutes to win three points for the Phobians.

Baretto in a post match interview, pointed out how his side failed to get something from the game.

“We made one mistake during the entire match. We forgot to mark in midfield and we conceded the goal but we had chances too.

However, we failed to take them and without goals, you cannot win a match. We have to accept the result and congratulate Hearts of Oak.

But I have to say a word about my players. They fought hard and they gave it everything but we could not win. There are still three matches left but of course, things are more difficult now. The rest of the campaign is now dependent on Hearts of Oak and what they do in their matches”.

For their last three matches, Hearts next play as guests of Ebusua Dwarfs in Cape Coast before returning home to take on Liberty Professionals in Accra. Their final game of the term is against Wafa away in Sogakope.

Kotoko, on the other hand, face King Faisal (home), Elmina Sharks (home) and Bechem United (away).
