Head coach of Hearts of Oak Kim Grant is delighted with the performance of his charges in their pre-season 4-0 victory over Sekondi Hasaacas.

The Phobians proved too strong for Hasaacas at the Sekondi Gyandu Park on Sunday.

In-form forward Joseph Esso opened the scoring in the 20th minute by converting a spot-kick.

Fifteen minutes later, Kojo Obeng Junior doubled the lead after heading home from a rebound before youngster Manaf Umar fired past the keeper from a counter-attack just after the hour mark.

The Accra-based giants sealed the win on the 70th minute mark after Manaf soared to head home his second from a fine cross from the right.

"I was really pleased with how we started and that's the type of start I want for us and obviously we controlled the game for 90 minutes."
