Title race still alive-Mahatma Otoo

Striker Mahatma Otoo has insisted Hearts of Oak are still in with a fighting chance of winning the Premier League title but feels they must claim maximum points from their remaining six matches.

The title race appear over after their arch-rivals Asante Kotoko posted a 2-1 win over them in the Ghanaian derby last weekend as the Kumasi-based opened  a staggering 13-points lead at the top of the table.

Kotoko faces a tricky test at the Accra Sports stadium against Mighty Jets and the 20-year-old believes defeat for their sworn-rivals will fuel their belief that they could become champions again.

“It’s not over until the rest of the matches are played. We played a determined game against them (Kotoko) but unfortunately we lost,” Otoo said.

“We just have to win all our games and hope they slip somewhere. I know it’s going to be difficult to catch up with them but there is still more to play for and so we’ll see how it goes.

Hearts will play Ebusua Dwarfs 24-hours after Kotoko engage Jets at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.
