Fatau Dauda criticizes Richard Attah's anticipation in Hearts of Oak's defeat

Former Ghanaian goalkeeper, Fatau Dauda, has criticized Richard Attah's poor anticipation, which he believes contributed to Hearts of Oak's defeat to Real Tamale United.

The Phobians suffered an opening day loss when Owusu Afriyie scored a late winner for the hosts at the Aliu Mahama stadium.

Dauda pointed out that Attah was off his line when a cross came in from a corner kick but failed to reach the ball first, allowing Afriyie to connect with it.

In his analysis, Dauda explained, "New season Ghana Premier League 2023/2024… RTU Vrs HEARTS OF OAK. The challenges in this clip, why Gk could not get the ball “anticipating before attacking the ball." It was an out-swing cross, and the principle is telling us to stay high when there is an out-swing cross. The Gk was high, alright, but the anticipation made him not get the ball."

Hearts of Oak will return to Accra to face Nsoatreman in their second game of the season, with hopes of winning the Ghana Premier League this season.
