The assistant head coach of Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club, Abdul Rahim Bashiru, has refuted the idea that the Accra Lions outperformed his team during today’s Ghana Premier League match at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The Phobians suffered its fourth straight loss after losing to Legon Cities, Medeama SC, and Bibiani Gold Stars, as Accra Lions defeated the latter 1-0.

After a masterful build-up, Ibrahima Issah of the Lions scored the game’s lone goal in the 56th minute by planting the ball into the net.

In a post-match interview following the defeat, Rahim Bashiru lamented the incompetence of his team and insisted that the Lions weren’t superior to them, but rather that they had missed the opportunity to score the goal that secured the victory.

”No I don’t think so because from the blast of the whistle we controlled the game. In the first half, there were a lot of spaces in their team and we should have punished them but we didn’t take our chances. I don’t think they played better than us but just that they took the chance that they had and scored a goal. That’s the difference” He said.
