Yatsuhashi vows to fight on

Accra Hearts of Oak coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi is adamant his side will bounce back stronger from a first defeat of the season in the Ghana Premier League.

The Phobias lost 1-3 at home to WA All Stars to lose their near perfect start to the campaign which had seen them win four and draw one of their opening five games.

But they met their match in All Stars who are now the only unbeaten side in the Ghana Premier League.

Hearts of Oak fans claimed they had been undone by poor refereeing and pelted the match officials with water bottles and sachet packs but Yatsuhashi is hoping his team can learn the required lessons from the defeat.

"I apologize for not being able to win but I am proud of how well and hard our players played, " he wrote on his Facebook page. "It was my fault that we did not win the game. We will go back on the training grounds and we will work hard again.

"I did not think we would go through the season without losing any games. We never say die."
