The coach of Aduana Stars, Paa Kwesi Fabin has slammed Asante Kotoko for the style and tactics used in their betPawa Premier League matchday 27 fixture at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday night.
The Porcupines inflicted a 2-1 defeat on the Ogya Lads with goals from Steven Mukwala and Eric Zeze with Isaac Mintah fetching the consolation for the visitors in a rainy night.
After the game, Fabin expressed his frustration at the negative approach and performance of Kotoko, who he felt delayed or slowed down play for most of the match. He was overheard expressing his displeasure at the media center before the post-match conference started.
“Tweaaa, this can’t be Kotoko because this is not how Kotoko play and it’s not the style of Kotoko,” Fabin said with a worried face. “Asante Kotoko playing delay tactics just to win points? The match was supposed to be played for 90 minutes but we played only 60 minutes because the Kotoko players kept wasting time and were falling down even when nothing happened to them,” he said as quoted by Ghanasportspage.com.
Despite the loss, Fabin promised that Aduana would win the rest of their league matches and that the league title is certainly closer to Aduana than any of their competitors.
The defeat to Kotoko cut their lead to just three points as Bechem United breathe down their necks, with Medeama, Kotoko, Hearts of Oak, and Accra Lions all vying for the title.
