After a challenging first-round performance in the 2023–24 Ghana Premier League, Hearts of Oak striker Kassim Cisse expresses confidence in a stronger comeback with his teammates.
The Phobians’ struggles led to the dismissal of head coach Martin Koopman just three months after his appointment.
In the last game of the first round, Hearts secured a crucial 1-0 victory against Bechem United, breaking a five-game winless streak. Youngster Martin Karikari secured the late victory at the Kumasi Sports Stadium, showcasing the team’s determination.
Cisse, an Ivorian forward, attributes the win to the team’s character and determination, emphasizing their resilience despite a penalty miss. Looking ahead, he affirms the team’s commitment to returning stronger after the break.
“Our boys showed character and that is what made us win the game despite the penalty miss. We shall come back stronger after the break,” Kassim Cisse told the club’s media.
Currently positioned 9th with 21 points after 17 rounds, Hearts of Oak aims to regroup and make a significant impact in the upcoming matches.
