The Chief Executive Officer of Asante Kotoko Nana Yaw Amponsah admitted his side’s 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Medeama was the most painful defeat of his life.
The Ghanaian giants lost to the Mauve and Yellows in Obuasi to miss the chance of extending their lead at the Ghana Premier league summit.
Emmanuel Gyamfi had given the Porcupines a deserving lead within five minutes of the game but goals from Prince Opoku Agyemang and Richard Boadu secured a famous 2-1 victory for the Tarkwa-based club.
Speaking to Opemsuo Radio in Kumasi the ex-GFA aspirant did not hide his shock about the defeat.
Stressing that the fact that Medeama has taken four points from Kotoko does not even make it better.
“The most painful defeat since I joined Kotoko was the Saturday’s game (defeat to Medeama). Because it was a game we never expected to lose.”
“We started very well and got the early goal and was managing the game until that goal. From where I was sitting I felt it was offside. I have seen images proved to be offside.”
“We were still managing the game amidst difficulties then a deflected goal that can beat the best goalkeeper in the world. But I thought the second half we were cool.
“But in football, the whole bedrock of sports is the uncertainty of results and for us, we are down but not out.”
Asante Kotoko plays a guest to Legon Cities in their next GPL encounter.
