Mohammed Polo slams wasteful Kotoko

Published on: 12 February 2018

Former Hearts of Oak legend, Mohammed Ahmed Polo has slammed Asante Kotoko for failing to utilize their chances in their slim win over CARA Brazzaville in the first leg of the preliminary stage of the CAF Confederation Cup on Sunday.

The Porcupine Warriors squandered three penalties at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

Substitute, Yakubu Mohammed converted a late penalty to put Kotoko ahead of the game in the preliminary round of the competition.

During an interview with Happy FM, the former Black Stars legend reiterated his grievance over the chances missed and claimed that it could haunt them in the return encounter.

"Kotoko won't have it easy in Congo. I doubt if they'll be able to handle the home support Cara will get.

"Missing three penalty kicks clearly shows the technical problem Kotoko is facing. Kotoko performance was nothing to write home about."

"Coach should concentrate more on training players on how to score goals because it's a major problem in our football in Ghana."

"Kotoko will be intimidated in Congo. They had the opportunities here and they wasted it. Kotoko has to score real goals there. They won't be awarded four penalties."

The second leg is scheduled to come off in a fortnight.
