Asante Kotoko coach Prosper Nartey rues missed chances in Hearts of Oak win

Published on: 11 April 2022

Asante Kotoko coach, Prosper Nartey Ogum says his side could have scored more against Hearts of Oak in their win on Sunday.

The Porcupine Warriors secured a three-point in their matchday 24 game at the Baba Yara Stadium with a spot-kick to cement their lead on the league log.

Prosper Ogum's men were the better side on the day, spurning several goal-scoring opportunities.

"Very satisfied because we played very well, we created a lot of chances, we kept the ball most of the time in the game." And we showed that indeed, we are on top of the league," Ogum said

“We were in a haste to score, we created more chances, more obvious goal-scoring opportunities.

“Chances that you just need to poke the ball into the net but they couldn’t.

“But in high profile games like these, sometimes players lose their awareness in front of goal and some of these things happen."

“But I’m happy that we dominated play and we created more goal-scoring opportunities.”

Frank Mbella scored from the penalty spot in the first half to ensure the Porcupine Warriors emerged winners in the Super Clash in the week 24 fixture of the Ghana Premier League.

The win sees Asante Kotoko open a 15-point lead on the league table against defending champions Hearts of Oak.

Kotoko will be hosted by Real Tamale United in the matchday 25 game at the Aliu Mahama Stadium.
