Slavko Matic, coach of Hearts of Oak, has conceded that his team's loss against Bechem United on Monday was due to tactical errors on his side.
Cephas Mantey and Hafiz Konkoni scored in the sixth and 13th minutes to hand the Phobians their first defeat under the Serbian coach at the Cape Coast Stadium.
Hearts got one back in the 89th minute through Robert Sowah, but it wasn't enough as Kasim Mingle's side claimed all three points.
Slavko Matic voiced his sadness after the game while admitting responsibility for the loss.
"Nobody likes to lose but we gave to our opponents everything today. In the first 15 minutes, they scored two goals. We know they have good transitions but we made tactical mistakes.
"When it’s an open ball and you don’t have good defensive transitions, you must go big. We tried to take the ball. We gave them space. Also, they had one more chance and shot. We gave everything to them. And after that, it is very difficult. Our players start to get nervous and today we lose. Very cheap," he explained.
Following the departure of Samuel Boadu, the 46-year-old took over as manager of Hearts of Oak, winning four of seven games, drawing two, and now losing one.
Hearts will take on Tamale City at the Cape Coast Stadium on Saturday afternoon in an attempt to get back on track.
