Akowuah, who was adjudged man of the match in the super clash, believes  they have a lot more to prove if they are to have a great season and challenge for the title.

Hearts broke a seven-year jinx at home against Kotoko when Vincent Atinga's penalty earned them a vital three points at the expense of Kotoko in their eighth week top-liner.

In an interview with the Graphic Sports yesterday, the former Medeama player revealed that management's promises and determination played a key role in their triumph last Sunday.

"I can say that we were determined for the victory after all the promises given to us by management and that gave us the edge over our counterparts," he said.

"We have a lot to prove in our subsequent matches if we are to challenge for the league title at the end of the season and I want to warn my colleagues against being complacent," he added.

Talking about being the best player on the pitch against Kotoko, Akowuah said he felt honoured and motivated to give of more of such performances in the upcoming games.
