Published on: 01 May 2023

Asante Kotoko coach Abdul Gazale was left frustrated after they were held to a 1-1 draw against Tamale City in week 29 of the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.

The Ghanaian top-flight newbies put in a spirited performance to earn a significant point from the match after holding the defending champions to a 1-1 stalemate at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.

The Porcupine Warriors were first to draw the blood in the matchday 29 fixture after youngster Rocky Dwanema scored a sumptuous goal in the 36th minute.

But the Tamale-based club got the equalising goal a few minutes later through Mohammed Yahaya after taking advantage of a defensive mishap by Kotoko.

“It’s just a hard luck for us because today it better than what we did in our last game. We created chances but unfortunately we couldn’t convert them and I think we have to work on that as well”

Kotoko remains in the 6th position on the league standings with 43 points from 29 matches and are seven points behind leaders Aduana Stars, who have a game in hand.
