Head coach for Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Kjetil Zachariassen has stressed that his team had a good match against Obuasi Ashanti Gold when the two clubs locked horns on Sunday in the maiden edition of the BK Adusei foundation cup.
The Porcupine Warriors endured defeat at the hands of the Miners on penalties at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium over the weekend after a goalless draw at the end of 90 minutes.
Speaking in a post-match interview, Kjetil Zachariassen disclosed that he is happy with the display of his players against a very tough opponent in their regional rivals.
“We are happy with the opponent coming at us like that. It is the way Sahel will play against us. We had a very good match and am very happy”, the Norwegian tactician said.
He added, “We know we can play and we know we can do well but as I said we did some experiments because somebody (some of the players) is having some small issues. That also affected us. Our performance is as expected”.
Kotoko is currently preparing for the first leg of their second-round tie against Tunisian club Etoile du Sahel in the CAF Champions League.
