Asante Kotoko's assistant coach, David Ocloo, has expressed disappointment over losing the 2024 President's Cup to ASEC Mimosa, as they aimed to make Ghana proud.
The Ivorian team secured a 2-1 victory over the Porcupine Warriors with two first-half goals at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
This defeat marks Asante Kotoko's second consecutive loss in the President's Cup, following last year's defeat to rivals Hearts of Oak.
Ocloo acknowledged the team's disappointment and asked for forgiveness from their supporters, emphasizing their intention to make Ghana proud.
“It is very disappointing, and hard to take, we planned to make Ghana proud today. They should forgive us,” said Ocloo.
“We respected them too much in the first half. Our second half was very good.”
Despite their recent CAF Champions League defeat against Wydad Casablanca, ASEC Mimosa accepted GHALCA's invitation to participate in Ghana's 67th Independence Day Celebration.
