Asante Kotoko head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has acknowledged his team’s struggles in finding their rhythm during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Bechem United at the Baba Yara Stadium in a Matchday 27 Ghana Premier League fixture.
The visitors took the lead in the 69th minute through Darlvin Yeboah, before Albert Amoah leveled the score for Kotoko with a penalty, ensuring both teams shared the points.
Speaking after the match, Ogum praised Bechem United’s tactical approach, noting how their compact defensive setup caused problems for Kotoko’s attacking play.
“It was a nice game. I think Bechem came defensively to stay low and then go on the counter,” Ogum said. “They tried to put a lot of men behind the ball, which made it very difficult for us to penetrate, but we tried a few times and we were able to unlock it, but we couldn’t score. It was a good game.”
Ogum also pointed out that a lack of cohesion hindered Kotoko’s performance.
“Bechem United is a very good side, but I think we didn’t find our rhythm, we didn’t find our flow, and I think that is the main reason,” he added.
Despite the draw, Asante Kotoko remain top of the league table with 47 points, while Bechem United stay in 7th place with 40 points.
Looking ahead, Bechem United will host Bibiani GoldStars, while Kotoko will travel to face Accra Lions in their next fixture.
