Hearts of Oak coach Nebojsa Vucicevic’s start to the Glo Premier League proved to be a testing experience as his side sealed a 1-0 win against Berekum Arsenal on Saturday.

A Mahatma Otoo first half goal gave the Phobians the important away win at the Robert Mensah Stadium.

Having withstood considerable pressure to dispense with the services of Vucicevic, Hearts go top of the standings after match-day-1 with the bulk of the matches coming up on Sunday.

Otoo tapped in from the near post in the 8th minute and it proved a crucial goal as it separated both sides till the final whistle.

The win would calm the pressure on under-fire coach Vucicevic at least for now.
