Bright Agyei left it late to snatch the equaliser for Aduana on the stroke of full time when he met Emmanuel Gyamfi’s cross.
“Mbella has been taking almost all Asante Kotoko penalties this season so if he has missed two against Aduana Stars he shouldn’t be crucified by the fans,” Bright Adjei told Oyerepa FM after Sunday’s game.
“This is the time for the supporters to support and encourage him and I know he will score subsequent ones.”
