Hearts of Oak National Chapters Committee (NCC) PRO Kobby Jones has conceded that their rivals, Asante Kotoko, should have scored at least four goals in their Ghana Premier League Week 31 encounter at the Baba Yara Stadium.

The match saw the Porcupine Warriors emerge victorious with a 2-0 win over the Phobians, thanks to a brace from Ugandan international striker Steven Mukwala.

Despite the defeat, Kobby Jones remains optimistic about Hearts of Oak's chances of avoiding relegation, as they currently sit just two points above the relegation zone.

"Things are not going well, but I can assure our fans that we won't face relegation. I think that is their main worry, we won't go down. Next season, things will change.

"Yesterday, Kotoko at some point feared us; they should have scored four goals. Yes, I am a Hearts supporter, and anytime they attacked us, we were jittery," he told Kessben TV.

"When we got the ball, we played it in the middle, but the attack wasn't potent. However, when they got the ball, their aggression towards us made our central defence pair look very bad," he added.
