Asante Kotoko assistant trainer Orlando Wellington says he will not blame Steven Mukwala for his outfits defeat to Hearts of Oak in the Super Clash.
The Ugandan international has been criticized by fans for squandering clear-cut chances during their clash with the Phobians but Orlando Wellington has jumped to his defense.
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.
“Well, he didn’t have a good day, so I cannot blame him for the defeat” Wellington said after the game.
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.
