Hearts of Oak head coach, David Ocloo, has ruled out any chances of his side fighting for this season’s Ghana Premier League after their defeat over the weekend. 

The Phobians suffered a devastating 1-5 defeat to Medeama Sporting Club on match-day 31 of the top flight at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday. 

A Jonathan Sowah brace and other goals from Vincent Atingah, Derrick Fordjour as well as Kwasi Bonsu handed Hearts their biggest loss of the 2022/23 season. 

The defeat leaves Hearts in the seventh position with eight points behind league leaders Medeama.

“Yeah, yeah, [our title charge] is over. We play now to get a respectable position,” Ocloo told StarTimes after the fixture.

Hearts could drop further down should Asante Kotoko pick up a win later on Monday in their game against Kotoku Royals. 

Hearts have three more games until the end of the 2022/23 season.
