"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.
