Hearts of Oak coach Odoom explains reason for Asante Kotoko defeat

Hearts of Oak coach Edward Nii Odoom believes his side were let down by a breakdown in communication in Sunday's derby loss to arch-rivals Asante Kotoko in the Ghana Premier League.

The Phobians were left disappointed in the matchday six fixture at the Accra Sports Stadium as Naby Laye Keita converted a stoppage-time penalty to ensure a 2-1 away triumph for the Porcupine Warriors.

Justice Blay put the visitors in the lead in the 11th minute before Joseph Esso restored parity with a header after the break.

"Nothing went wrong for us, my boys played very well," Odoom said at the post-match press conference.
