Hearts of Oak coach Nebojsa Kapor has identified positional play as an area requiring improvement despite his side’s convincing 3-0 victory over Heart of Lions in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.

The Phobians delivered an impressive display at the University of Ghana Stadium, scoring twice from set pieces and extending their unbeaten home run to move into second place.

Ransford Mensah opened the scoring after two minutes, converting a left-footed effort following a scramble in the visitors’ penalty area. John Antwi doubled the lead with a finish from a well-rehearsed free-kick routine before completing his brace two minutes after the restart.

Despite the scoreline, Kapor believes his players must improve, particularly in their positioning.

"We scored a goal, and after this, the second goal came. But we have to also approach this game through every phase of football. Let's say, set pieces, we did well offensively. Defensively, we have to approach this with a little bit more confidence.

"Also, one aspect where we didn't play perfectly was the positional phase. Two phases where we did very well were the transitional phases, and I'm sure that created an advantage for us."

The result lifted Hearts to second place, one point behind defending champions Medeama. They have collected 13 points from a possible 15 at home and remain unbeaten at the University of Ghana Stadium.

Hearts next face Samartex on November 15.
