â??We have a goalscoring challengeâ? â?? Hearts of Oak coach Didi Dramani admits

Hearts of Oak coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani has openly admitted that his side is struggling in front of goal after their narrow 1–0 defeat to Medeama SC on Sunday at the TnA Park, a result that further underlined the Phobians’ attacking woes.

A second-half strike from former Hearts midfielder Salim Adams proved decisive, handing Medeama all three points and strengthening the Mauve and Yellow’s grip at the top of the Premier League table. Despite a spirited performance, Hearts once again failed to convert their chances, a recurring theme that has now become a growing concern.

Speaking to the media after the match, Dramani did not shy away from the reality facing his team, conceding that goalscoring remains their biggest challenge.

“Absolutely, goalscoring is really a problem,” Dramani admitted.

“You saw the chance we had in the first half and the one in the second half. These chances you don’t miss, but we’re still a work in progress.”

The statistics paint a clear picture of Hearts of Oak’s struggles. After 17 matches, the Phobians have scored just 11 goals, conceding seven, leaving them with a modest goal difference of +4—a return that falls short of expectations for a club of their stature and title ambitions.

The defeat leaves Hearts of Oak fifth on the league table with 28 points, trailing the leaders as the season enters its decisive phase. With pressure mounting, attention now turns to their next fixture against Hohoe United on Matchday 18, where Dramani and his players will be eager to find solutions in attack and reignite their push up the standings.
