Head Coach of Asante Kotoko, Prosper Narteh Ogum has cited fatigue as the reason for his team’s defeat to Heart of Lions on Sunday.
The Porcupine Warriors suffered a 1-0 defeat to Heart of Lions, with Kwadwo Obeng Junior scoring the only goal of the game after capitalizing on an by goalkeeper Mohammed Camara.
The defeat was the club’s second straight defeat after losing 2-1 to Legon Cities in an outstanding game in midweek.
In a post-match interview, Ogum attributed the loss to exhaustion, stating, “We looked very tired on the field. The stress of the journey from Kumasi to Anyinase is about nine hours; we played on Sunday and then travelled another 10 hours to Accra. After that, we played on Wednesday and had to travel all the way from Accra back to Kumasi. You could see they were tired. It was fatigue that affected our performance.”
Asante Kotoko after failing to win any of their last three league games will hope to bounce back to winning ways when they face Bechem United at the Nana Gyeaboa Fosu Park this weekend.
