We lost concentration – Aboubakar Ouattara on win over Accra Lions

 Hearts of Oak head coach Aboubakar Ouattara has lamented his side’s lapse in concentration, leading to their concession of two goals right after the second-half break. 

The Phobians took a first-half lead through Mohammed Hussein but were pegged back with two quick goals from Lucky Nwafor and Blessing Dankwa, which looked like they would have seen them lose their plot for a second straight win.

Coach Aboubakar effected changes with Mawuli Wayo climbing off the bench to fire two quick goals to turn the tides of the game around in favor of the Phobians.

Speaking after the win, the coach opined “We couldn’t make it and Wayo came, Karikari (Martin), all these players came to change to change the game and take the three points, that’s the important thing.”

“We lost concentration when came from the dressing room. I don’t know what happened but the important thing is that we take the three points, the rest, I will correct it on the training ground.”
