  • His assist was not enough as Hearts of Oak split the points with Legon Cities in their opening game of the second round

Accra Hearts of Oak midfielder Sulley Ali Muntari has complained about the bad nature of the turf at the El Wak Sports Stadium in his side's matchday 18 fixture against Legon Cities.

The El Wak Sports Stadium has come under a lot of backlash owing to the poor state of the facility with many questioning the Club Licensing Authority for approving the venue for Premier League games.

Despite the protestations by fans and club officials, Legon Cities have gone on to use the venue as their home grounds for the ongoing season.

And Sulley Muntari is the latest to join the bandwagon to wage his displeasure about the nature of the pitch.

The 37-year-old midfielder fell down in what appeared to be a minor injury and bemoaned about the nature of the pitch.

He managed to shake off the knock, lasting 63 minutes in the game before he was replaced by Frederick Ansah Botchway.

Hearts of Oak split points with Legon Cities

Hearts of Oak went into the second round knowing they can't afford to drop any points after trailing rivals Asante Kotoko by 12 points at the end of the first round.

The champions started brightly, after Sulley Muntari's brilliant corner was met by Isaac Mensah to break the game's deadlock.

The Phobians created chances to double their lead but failed to capitalize. However, the hosts, Legon Cities fought hard in the dying minutes as Osman Amdu pulled level in injury time.
