Medeama SC finished the first half of the season on top of the league following a slim yet important 1-0 win over Hearts of Oak in week 17.

Head coach of Medeama SC, Ibrahim Tanko addressed the important victory at the end of the game.
“It’s very important, I mean the game was really tactical and we had to dig our minds into the ninetieth minute but I think we had most of the ball, we possessed very well and kept controlling the game and I think it’s a deserved win for us,” Ibrahim Tanko said.
The former Ghana U-23 coach opened up on the tactics that helped his side rake in the win over Hearts of Oak.
