The Phobians lost for the first time under the Serbian boss on Monday at Cape Coast Stadium.
Hearts of Oak scored a goal through Robert Sowah in the 89th minute to make the score 2-1. Cephas Mantey and Hafiz Konkoni had already scored in the sixth and 13th minutes.
Slavko Matic acknowledged his dissatisfaction after the game while taking ownership of the defeat.
"Nobody wants to lose, but tonight we offered everything to our opponents. They scored two goals in the opening 15 minutes. We made tactical errors, but we know they have smooth transitions.
"You have to go big when it's an open ball, and you don't have solid defensive transitions. We endeavored to get the ball. We left them alone. They also had one more opportunity and shot. They received everything we had. After then, it becomes really challenging. Today we lose because our players start to become anxious. Very inexpensive," he said.
Hearts of Oak will play Tamale City in the matchday 11 games as they currently hold the fifth spot in the league standings with 16 points.
