2021 Ghana Premier League: WAFA coach Narteh blames red card for Hearts' defeat

Published on: 09 March 2021

WAFA coach Prosper Narteh has blamed the dismissal of Abubakar Ibrahim for his side's worst defeat of the season in the on-going 2020/21 Ghana Premier League.

The Academy boys succumbed to a 4-0 loss at the Accra Sports stadium after their captain was sent off after just 22 minutes.

Speaking after the game, coach Prosper Narteh said his team could have played better if they had 11 players for the 90 minutes.

"It's unfortunate. "When a major decision changes the complexion of the game, that's what happens," he said as quoted by ghanasoccernet.com.

"To me that decision changed the complexion of the game and that's football for you."

He added, "I think this game has nothing to do with goalscoring when you playing two-thirds of the game with ten men. I mean it has nothing to do with goalscoring, it's all about the tactical disposition of the game."

"A central defender went out and we had to bring a hold midfielder to breakdown the marksmanship position so it has nothing to do with goalscoring.

"If it were to be eleven vs eleven then maybe that question will be something I can answer but this has nothing to do with goalscoring."
