Hearts of Oak head coach Samuel Boadu is not a happy man despite his outfit's 2-0 win over Algerian side JS Saoura in the CAF Confederation Cup.
The Phobians on Sunday secured a first-leg advantage over their opponents at the Accra Sports Stadium with goals from Ibrahim Salifu and Isaac Agyenim Boateng.
But the former Medeama coach wanted his team to score more goals to make the reverse fixture a mere academic exercise, however, they weren't clinical in front of goal.
It was a very difficult game, they are a well-preapared side. Because we know their threat we didn't allow them to possess the ball. Despite doing all these it was quite unfortunate we created a lot of chances but scored only 2. I am not happy at all," Samuel Boadu said at his post match press conference.

Coach of JS Saoura, Beliad Larbi admitted that his side could have lost by a bigger margin to Hearts of Oak.
"A very good display from Hearts of Oak, they could have scored us more goals but it looks like their 2-0 defeat against Ashanti Gold affected them today. However we will prepare for the second leg," he shared.
Hearts of Oak meanwhile would be hoping to do better when they travel to North Africa to honour the reverse fixture next week.
The last time the Phobians travelled to North Africa they were hammered 6-1 by Wydad Atletic Club at the Stade Mohammed V in Morocco.
According to Samuel Boadu he has learnt a lot from his bitter experience in the club's last travel to North Africa.
"We have learned a lot lesson in our match against WAC, We are going to use that as a learning point in our second leg against JS Saoura," Samuel Boadu added.
The 2nd leg will be played on Sunday, December 5 at the Stade du 20 Août 1955.
