Match reactions
Hearts coach Kosta Papic
We made two big mistakes and were punished. We tried our best but the balls didn’t want to go into the net. We couldn’t score in this game and that is the problem.
Great Olympics coach Yaw Preko
I am proud of the boys. The boys came to the party, we hit them early and it worked. For the second half we were compact and didn’t allow them to score.
