Nations FC head coach, Kasim Mingle says his side should have beaten Asante Kotoko hands down on Sunday.

The Premier League debutants hosted the Porcupine Warriors at the Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex in Abrankese in the matchday six games of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season.

After 90 minutes of football, the game ended 2-2.

Speaking after the game, the former Bechem United head coach says his players lost concentration.

He added that they should have won the game hands down.

“I’m very sad because we should have won the game hands down," he told StarTimes Ghana.

"Our boys lost concentration and they punished us with that goal," he added.

Mingle’s side broke the deadlock after recess through Amidou Diarra on 50 minutes and maintained their lead until the 88th minute when Steven Mukwala restored parity for Asante Kotoko.

Kotoko then surged ahead in the 92nd minute, thanks to a goal from Michael Kyei Dwamena and believed that this late goal would secure them three points, but the drama was far from over. In the 104th minute, Diarra once again stepped up, this time converting a penalty to ensure that the spoils were equally shared.

Nations FC now sit in 14th position on the Premier League summit with 5 points with their outstanding game with defending champions, Medeama SC.
