"A little loss of concentration but I am so much impressed by the performance of my team it is just a hard-luck we will survive I am very confident that we will survive," he said.
"We will do everything possible to win the rest of the matches ahead and survive. Just as I have already said a little loss of concentration at the tail end of the and that gave them the goal. It is part of the game sometimes in a game of football like this it happens,"
"I am not much worried though it is very hurtful it is one of those things in a game we have been defeated I do accept it in good faith it is one of those things."
After a scoreless first half, the second half saw a renewed sense of urgency from Hearts of Oak, as they pushed forward in search of the opening goal.
However, Kotoku Royals defended resolutely with goalkeeper Frank Boateng making a number of brilliant saves to keep his side in the game.
