Hearts of Oak coach Nebojša Kapor has praised his team's attacking performance after the Phobians recorded a convincing 3-0 victory over Heart of Lions in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.

Hearts made a flying start at the University of Ghana Stadium, taking the lead through Ransford Mensah just two minutes into the game before John Antwi doubled their advantage.

Antwi then completed his brace two minutes after the restart, putting the result beyond doubt and extending Hearts' impressive home run.

Kapor was pleased with how his players approached the game, particularly their ability to take advantage of the early goals and create opportunities through quick transitions.

“We started the game in the best possible way. We scored an early goal, followed by a second, but we also had to approach the game through every phase of football,” the Serbian coach said.

While satisfied with the attacking display, Kapor admitted some areas required improvement, particularly the team's defensive organisation during set-piece situations and their positional play.

“Offensively, we did well with set pieces. Defensively, however, we need to approach those situations with a little more confidence,” he added.

He also pointed to some shortcomings in their positional play, explaining that the team's approach should not be judged only by what happens when they lose possession, but also by their intentions when building attacks.

Kapor, however, was encouraged by Hearts' work in transition, which he believes helped them gain an advantage and build on their early lead.

The victory takes Hearts to second place on the league table, just one point behind defending champions Medeama, as they continue their push for a first league title since 2021.
