Hearts of Oak head coach, Samuel Boadu, has rued early injury to key man Gladson Awako in their 1-1 draw against Kumasi Asante Kotoko in the Super Clash game played on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Phobians rescued a point late in the game when Caleb Amankwah directed a set piece into the back of the net, after Yussif Mubarik had put the Porcupine Warriors in the game.<\/p>\n

Awako took an early knock in the first half but still lasted 85 minutes before being replaced by Benjamin Yorke.<\/p>\n

But Boadu in his post-game comments, still cited the early knock to the 33-year-old as reason they did not win the match.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to outplay them because I know Hearts of Oak is better than Kotoko. Awako got an early knock and that destroyed our plan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for Kotoko, I know their strengths so I told my boys to keep their composure because we will bounce back.\u201d<\/p>\n

The draw in Kumasi means Hearts of Oak have yet to win a game at the start of this season, with three games played.<\/p>\n

It also means Samuel Boadu is yet to lose a game against Kotoko since taking charge of the Phobians in 2021.<\/p>\n
