The Phobia spirit is coming back to stay – Dr Nyaho-Nyaho Tamakloe despite defeat to Asante Kotoko
Hearts of Oak Board Member, Dr Nyaho-Nyaho Tamakloe believes the Phobia spirit is coming back to stay at the club despite their recent struggles.
He made these remarks following Hearts of Oak’s 3-2 defeat to Asante Kotoko on Sunday at the Baba Yara Stadium in the matchday 14 games.
Linda Mtange opened the scoring for the Phobians but their happiness was short-lived as youngster Isaac Oppong responded with a brilliant finish to draw Kotoko level before the break.
Kotoko found themselves in the lead when Richmond Ayi spilt a shot into the path of Steven Mukwala, who made no mistake from close range to put his side ahead.
Mukwala completed his brace with 15 minutes away from full time as he chased down a through ball from Richmond Lamptey forcing the Hearts defence into a mistake which led to the former putting the ball into an empty net to extend Kotoko's lead.
However, Martin Karikari pulled one back for the Phobians as the game ended 3-2.
Despite the defeat, the former Ghana Football Association (GFA) chairman said the spirit of the club is coming back to the club despite their recent struggle.
“I want to congratulate Hearts of Oak players. They did very well against Asante Kotoko,” he told Asempa FM as monitored by Footballghana.com.
“To me, it is quite clear that the Phobia spirit is coming back to stay and very soon, football followers in this country will see that,” he added.
Hearts of Oak, who sit 9th on the Premier League log with 16 points will be hosted by Nations FC in the matchday 15 games at the Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex.
