Head coach of Ghanaian giants, Hearts of Oak, Samuel Boadu has said the performance of his team in the goalless stalemate against Asante Kotoko was not the best.

And although they produced an improved performance, Boadu says it was not the best from his boys and even the junior team could have beaten Asante Kotoko.

"This is not a game. If I'm using the junior team for Hearts of Oak, Kotoko cannot score we," he said at the post-match conference.

"The players played very well, the chances that we got, its quiet unfortunate we couldn't score but there is a hope," he added.

The Phobians spurned the chances that they created as Asante Kotoko left Accra with a point.

Meanwhile, Samuel Boadu's opposite number Dr Prosper Ogum praised the performance of his team and he is satisfied with the draw.

"It was a wonderful performance from my side, we looked very compact, we played some good possession in the middle of the park, created a few chances we could have scored but then we couldn't convert them. Coming on the road to come and play in the manner we played I think is good for the boys, is good for the team and is good for teams confidence," he said.
