Asante Kotoko coach, Prosper Narteh Ogum, has responded to his team’s surprising 2-1 loss to Legon Cities in the Ghana Premier League.
The Porcupine Warriors faced their first defeat of the 2024/25 season in an outstanding game at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
Fans voiced their frustration over the defeat, especially since Legon Cities entered the game at the bottom of the table with just two points.
However, Ogum noted that losses to lower-ranked teams are common in football.
“It happens all over the world. He who is down fears no fall. It was an exciting game, a game of two halves,” he said.
“It is not the best way to lose, especially if you look at the way we played in the second half; it shouldn’t have happened, but it has. We just have to put ourselves together and move on,” he added.
Currently, Asante Kotoko holds second place with 15 points and will face Heart of Lions in Obuasi on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Legon Cities will play against Young Apostles in Accra the following day.
