Ghanaians on social media have reacted disappointedly to Accra Hearts of Oak's humiliating defeat in the preliminary round of the 2022/2023 CAF Confederation Cup.
The Malian champions defeated Hearts of Oak by a three-goal margin, taking a big advantage before the second leg at the Accra Sports Stadium on October 15, 2022.
Real Bamako scored twice in the first
Read full articlehalf before adding their third goal in the 73rd minute to put the game to bed while ensuring that they will be coming to Ghana for the return leg with a huge advantage.
The defeat and Hearts of Oak's inability to score even a goal didn't go down well with many Ghanaians who have ruled them out of the competition ahead of the return leg at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Accra Hearts of Oak, on the other hand, apologized to their fans after losing 3-0 to Real Bamako of Mali in the first leg of the second preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup.
Here are some of the reactions.
A Kotoko loss, should be a Kotoko loss
Hearts of Oak loss, should be a Hearts of Oak loss
Not because of Bamako 1,2,3 - You all knew Ghana Football have been BAD in recent years
One Thing I Like About Hearts Of Oak Is That Their Fans Will Not Fall For Any Propaganda Machinery Against The Team.They Will Always Support The Club They Are Not Like A Team I Know In Kumasi. pic.twitter.com/QYEkBEYozZ

Hearts of Oak’s recent 3 trips in Africa Club Competitions
6-1 loss to WAC (Morocco)
4-0 defeat to JS Saoura (Algeria)
3-0 loss to AS Real Bamako (Mali)
13 Goals conceded in last three Away games in Africa
AS Real Bamako make it 3-0 against Hearts of Oak. Surely no way back in this tie for the Phobians. Another weekend, another chance for Ghanaian clubs to underperform in Africa again.
