"Both Kotoko and Hearts have quality players and I have to say that the game was a good advert for the Ghana Premier League.

"It was a difficult game but I think my side did well today," Nuttal said.

Nuttal then hailed his players for showing great character and determination to against their bitterest rivals.

"My players showed a lot of spirit, great character and determination in the game today. We coped with the pressure and got a perfect goal.

"To be honest I didn't see Kotoko scoring from open play, which they didn't. I am pleased with the performance of my team today.

"We always try to win every game and get the three points but I have to say that a point in such a big game is also good for us.

"With five games remaining, we are still in the title race. We are in a good situation at the moment and we are going for the title and the FA Cup," said Frank Nutall.
