Karela United head coach, Abukari Damba, has praised Asante Kotoko for putting up a good performance against his team despite Karela winning the game.
Giyasu Ibrahim scored the only goal as the Pride and Passioners claimed a famous 1-0 win over the Porcupine Warriors on Saturday afternoon in a 2023/24 Ghana Premier League week 20 fixture.
Speaking to StarTimes after the game, the former Ghana international spoke highly of his opponents on the day despite picking all three important points.
“I did indicate to you that the last kicks of a dying horse are very powerful. I think my players of course did demonstrate that, we worked hard towards this but I must also say Kotoko…they are very very good side.
"They distinguished themselves very creditably just that we did the needful by scoring the goal.”
The Pride and Passion lads recorded the important win over Asante Kotoko at the Naa Sheriga Sports Centre in Nalerigu - only their second game at that venue after moving there at the start of the second round.
