Hearts of Oak head coach Aboubakar Ouattara has admitted his side is under immense pressure to avoid dropping to the second tier of Ghana football.
The Phobians are currently two points above the relegation zone following their 2-0 loss to Asante Kotoko at the Baba Yara Stadium on matchday 31 of the Ghana Premier League.
Steven Mukwala scored a brace to hand Hearts their 11th defeat of the campaign.
Speaking to StarTimes after the game, Ouattara acknowledged the need for his side to win as many points from their remaining games.
"Personally, I am not under pressure. I am not under pressure but the team is under pressure," he said.
"We are under pressure because we need more points to survive. We need the points in the remaining games. We don't have any choices.
"To get the points, we must score."
Hearts have three games to save their season with games against Nations FC, Great Olympics and Bechem United on the cards.
