Head coach of Berekum Chelsea Samuel Boadu is gutted by his side’s loss to his former club Hearts of Oak.

The former champions were stunned at home by the Phobians courtesy a solitary goal by Mawuli Wayo in the 56th minute. The Phobians ended Berekum Chelsea’s ten-game unbeaten home run at the Golden City Park in the Round 31 fixture.

Speaking after the game, Boadu, who led Hearts of Oak to five trophies in two seasons said, “The result is not the true reflection of the match. It quite unfortunate. The goal we conceded is unpardonable. It’s football, there is nothing that we can do. We did our best to comeback but it didn’t happen. We’ve realized our mistakes and will go back and work on them.”

The result marks Hearts' third consecutive win over their former coach Samuel Boadu, who now heads the Berekum Chelsea bench. It also extends the Phobians’ unbeaten run against Chelsea to ten matches, with the Blues’ last victory coming back in 2019.

Berekum Chelsea currently sit 11th on the league table with 41 points with Accra Hearts of Oak moving into 5th on 49 points after match day 31.
