FA Cup: We need to take Home Stars seriously- Hearts of Oak Coach ahead of tie

Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club head coach, Aboubakar Ouattara, has called for his side to take its upcoming FA Cup game against Home Stars FC seriously.

He said this in an interview with Hearts media ahead of The Phobians MTN FA Cup Round of 32 stage game against the Division One club at the University of Ghana Stadium at 15:00 GMT.

Since losing 1-0 to Kumasi Asante Kotoko in the Super Clash, Hearts have won all three games including a 1-0 win over Legon Cities on January 3 at the above mentioned stadium but Aboubakar Ouattara isn’t getting carried away by Hearts’ performance ahead of taking on the lower tier side.

“We have a serious surprise everywhere in the world in the FA Cup and we need to take every match seriously. We have even prepared for penalties. Division One and Ghana  Premier League, the difference is just the name.”
