David Duncan was not disappointed with Hearts’ 1-0 home defeat to Ashantigold

Hearts coach David Duncan was pleased with the character of his side despite their 1-0 home defeat to Ashantigold.

Midfidelder Aaron Amoah scored the only goal of the match on the hour mark to end three successive defeats in the top-flight.

The victory was the miners’ first in 17-years at the Accra sports stadium and ended Duncan’s unbeaten run in the League.

But the former Free State and Great Olympics trainer was no utterly disappointed with the results.

“I have said it time without number that we’re on a rebuilding exercise and so I am not overly disappointed with the outcome of the game,” Duncan said

“We didn’t play badly as a team. We were just not lucky on the day.

“I think Ashantigold took their chance and got that crucial goal. But we have to take defeat in good faith and move on.

Hearts will take the two-week break to rebuild the crack in the team ahead of the resumption of the League on December 16.
