We defeated ourselves – Asante Kotoko coach Seydou Zerbo after Karela United tie

Published on: 03 February 2023

Asante Kotoko coach Seydou Zerbo has blamed his outfit for the defeat against Karela United in matchday 15 of the Ghana Premier League.

The Pride of the West managed to secure a 1-0 victory over the Porcupine Warriors on Thursday in Anyinase, ending the Porcupine Warriors’ unbeaten run.

The decisive goal of the match came in the second half, when Samuel Attah Kumi converted a controversial penalty to give Karela United the lead.

Despite their best efforts, Kotoko were unable to equalize, and their unbeaten run came to an end.

They were unbeaten in their last six games, including a 5-1 victory last weekend.

After the game, the Burkinabe asserted his sides defeat was self-inflicted having blew away chances in the encounter.

“The difference is, we had the chances to score goal, we defeated ourselves because we had all the chances to score but we couldn’t score. Eventually, the referee gave unwarranted penalty to them and they have their goal to score” he told StarTimes.

Kotoko now sits outside the top four, four points behind leaders Aduana Stars.
