According to Hamza Mohammed, the head coach of Tamale City, their 4-1 triumph over Hearts of Oak in week 28 of the Ghana Premier League will be a significant confidence boost for their upcoming match against Kotoko in week 29.
The new team will play against the Porcupine Warriors in the domestic top-flight on Sunday. At the post-match press conference, the former Ghanaian international stressed the importance of achieving a convincing victory over Hearts of Oak to boost his team’s morale before facing Kotoko.
He also highlighted the need to take one game at a time, recover adequately, plan thoroughly, and face Kotoko on Sunday.
“It’s going to be a big morale booster playing another big club. My boys should be motivated enough, recording a big win against Hearts and taking on Asante Kotoko again. We have to take it one match at a time, we are going to recover and then plan well and face Kotoko on Sunday” he said.
Tamale City rekindled their hopes of avoiding relegation with a remarkable performance against Hearts of Oak at the Aliu Mahama Stadium. They won 4-1, with Sampson Eduku netting twice, while Mohammed Yahaya and Isaac Mensah also found the back of the net.
This win has moved Tamale City three places clear of the relegation zone, giving them hope of staying in the top-flight. Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak’s subpar showing left their supporters disappointed, and Victor Aidoo’s consolation goal was their only highlight.
