Accra Lions’ head coach, Ibrahim Tanko, contested that his team didn’t deserve the defeat against Asante Kotoko on Monday.
The capital-based club faced the Porcupine Warriors earlier in a Round 4 match of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season.
Following a hard-fought contest between the two sides, Asante Kotoko managed to score in added time of the second half, securing a narrow 1-0 victory at full-time.
In his post-match statement, Coach Ibrahim Tanko expressed his disappointment with the result, considering it painful that his team lost. He believed that after a strong performance from Accra Lions, a draw would have been a more just outcome.
“It’s a very painful defeat. I mean lack of concentration. I think a draw could have been a better or a fair result based on how the two teams played, but this is football; one lack of concentration costs you three points. It’s painful,” Coach Ibrahim Tanko lamented.
Accra Lions’ next match in the Ghana Premier League will see them facing Great Olympic in Round 5.
