Asante Kotoko No.2 coach Orlando Wellington broods over denied penalty call in defeat against Hearts of Oak

Published on: 06 March 2023

Asante Kotoko assistant coach Orlando Wellington says his outfit were denied a clear penalty in their defeat against Hearts of Oak on Sunday.

The Ghana Premier League's biggest fixture, the Super Clash, took place on Sunday afternoon, with the Phobians securing the bragging right on home turf.

Aside the bragging rights and three points, the Phobians clinched the President Cup title for the second time running after a 1-0 win over the Porcupine Warriors.

Konadu Yiadom’s strike in the 57th minute mark propelled the rainbow boys to victory.

At the post-match conference, Orlando Wellington attributed his sides defeat to poor officiating.

“Hearts of Oak scored an offside goal and the referee denied us a clear penalty”

Despite the defeat, Asante Kotoko are ahead of Hearts of Oak on the Ghana Premier League table but tied on 31 points with Hearts of Oak who are 5th on the log.
