The Bibires really handed the Phobians a very good run for their money despite having a bad season so far but were desperate and determined to maintain their home unbeaten record.
One will attest to the fact that, the Phobians earned a point in Berekum because of goalkeeper Richmond Ayi who was really sensational in post for Hearts of Oak pulling multiple of saves to keep them in the game.
In a post-match interview, Kosta Papic expressed his displeasure over the performance of his boys stating they played with no dedication to win despite admitting the poor nature of the Berekum pitch was also a factor for their draw.
"I'm not happy because my players didn’t mean business although the grounds (pitch) was not good for our normal play."
"It seems my players were Ok with the draw. If you want to win the league, you have to win every game."
Hearts of Oak after the draw have moved to the second position as it stands with 16 points plus of 8 goals surpassing Ashgold, Bechem United and rivals Asante Kotoko on the league log.
The Phobians will lock horns with Great Olympics in a entitled the Capital derby at the Accra Sports Stadium in week 10 of the ongoing season.
