Speaking to Sharafootballl.net after the game, Mumuni said every game the team plays now is like a final game towards their title hunt.
“We went into that game with a lot of determination knowing that if drop points it will be difficult for us with the Kotoko game next in line, so, we did our best against Great Olympics”
“Our ambitions were tailored towards winning the double but we were dumped out of the FA Cup, so now the priority is now the league, every game is like a final game to us” he ended.

Hearts of Oak secured a crucial 1-0 win over Port City FC at the University of Ghana Stadium on Sunday, ending a three-match winless run in the Ghana Premier League.
Frank Duku’s 20th-minute goal was enough to separate the sides and hand the Phobians three points against the newly promoted outfit.
Despite the win, head coach Nebojša Kapor was left frustrated about the poor state of the Legon pitch.
“This is not our stadium; it’s a national stadium. Ghana football has serious problems with proper pitches,” Kapor said after the match.

The Phobias have adopted the University of Ghana as their temporary home venue for the Ghana Premier League.
Hearts of Oak will play Vision FC in the next league game away from home.
