Asante Kotoko coach Prosper Narteh broods over denied penalty call in defeat against King Faisal

Asante Kotoko coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has expressed his disappointment in his sides defeat against King Faisal in matchday 6 of the Ghana Premier League.

The Isha Allah boys ended the Porcupine Warriors unbeaten run in the domestic top-flight on Sunday afternoon.

Zubeiru Ibrahim scored a hat-trick to propel his side to victory while Cameroonian forward George Mfegue grabbing the two consolation goals for Kotoko.

Asked about a penalty call in the game, he said, “From where I stood it was a clear penalty. I mean the referee took a penalty, I saw a penalty, the ball hit the hand so I don’t know what decision else he took, he can only explain, I don’t know”

“The ball hit the hand and per the laws of the game when the ball hit the hand in the penalty area is a penalty, he took it only for the assistant one who is far away and the fourth referee to tell him that it wasn’t a penalty. The assistant two move to the line to award a penalty but he said it was not a penalty” he said.

Kotoko despite defeat are joint top with King Faisal with 13 points.
