Former National Circles Chairman of Asante Kotoko, Kwaku Amponsah, popularly known as ‘Chairman K5’ is confident his outfit will still win the Ghana Premier League despite defeat to Hearts of Oak.
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.
In an interview, Chairman K5 emphasized the Porcupine Warriors will emerge as winners of this year’s Ghana Premier League campaign despite suffering defeat against arc-rivals Hearts of Oak.
“Hearts of Oak have scored us but still Kotoko will win the league title. We still have games to play in the ongoing season and I am confident we will win the title. It is the Super Clash; we beat them just us they’ve beaten us so we can’t stop supporting our team”
“They have scored us but to some of us it is normal, we will make sure we correct our mistakes going forward. We were supposed to pick this three points but we are not discouraged, we will ensure the team recover for subsequent games” he said.
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.
