King Faisal coach Nurudeen Amadu maintains Asante Kotoko’s title ambition cannot be underrated because the Porcupine Warriors lost for the first time in the ongoing 2021/22 Ghana Premier League.
The gaffer engineered Kotoko’s first defeat as his side won the Kumasi derby 3-2 on Sunday at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Although King Faisal won, coach Nurudeen insisted Kotoko were the better side.
“I still believe that Kotoko have what it takes to win the league because of what they did against us,” Amadu said.
Honestly speaking they played well and then when you play against such a team you need to be cautious and know exactly what you want to do”
“I think that we did the needful, we sat back and took them on the break.”
Kotoko had won four and drawn one in five games coming into the encounter. They had also conceded just one goal.
However, King Faisal forward Zubairu Ibrahim overpowered Kotoko’s defence as he bagged all three goals for the visitors.
