King Faisal coach Nurudeen Amadu believes Asante Kotoko stand a chance of winning the Ghana Premier League despite defeat in the Ashanti derby.
The Isha Allah boys on Sunday went to the summit of the table following an impressive 3-2 victory against Kotoko in the Kumasi derby.
The Porcupine Warriors had not tasted defeat and conceded just one goal coming into the clash but forward Zubairu Ibrahim scored a superb hat-trick.
At the post-match conference, Nurudeen Amadu said the Porcupine Warriors still have what it takes to win the league despite the defeat.
“I still believe that Kotoko have what it takes to win the league because of what they did against us. Honestly speaking they played well and then when you play against such a team you need to be cautious and know exactly what you want to do”
“I think that we did the needful, we sat back and took them on the break” he said.
King Faisal are currently joint top with Kotoko, with both teams tied on 13 points.
