Ibrahim Tanko, the coach of Accra Lions, expressed his belief that his team deserved the victory in their clash against Nsoatreman FC in a highly competitive Ghana Premier League week 15 encounter at the WAFA Park in Sogakope.
Despite Nsoatreman FC taking an early lead through Kwabena Meider, Accra Lions staged a remarkable comeback in the second half.
Mohammed Yahaya’s impressive brace inspired the home team to secure maximum points against Maxwell Konadu’s outfit.
Reflecting on the game, Coach Tanko acknowledged the challenging first half but emphasized the team’s resilience and deserving win in the second half.
“It’s was a game of two halves, and we slept in the first half and woke up in the second half. Definitely, we spoke with the players during recess because you cannot play at home and then after 30 seconds you are chasing 1-0; that makes it very difficult.”
“In the second half, I mean we deserve to win, we have to score more goals, we had chances, but I think at the end three points is good for us,” he commented in an interview with StarTimes.
Accra Lions currently hold the 9th position in the Ghana Premier League with 19 points after 15 games into the campaign.
