Assistant coach David Ocloo of Ghanaian giant Kumasi Asante Kotoko SC didn’t mince words after their defeat to Karela United FC in the Ghana Premier League on Saturday afternoon in Nalerigu.
Ocloo pointed to missed opportunities as the primary reason for their loss against the Pride and Passion outfit.
“In this game, when you have the opportunity and you don’t use them, it will come back to haunt you,” Ocloo emphasized, highlighting the importance of capitalizing on chances in football.
The defeat to Karela United FC marks the second time in less than a month that Asante Kotoko has fallen to their opponents. Earlier, Karela United secured a victory over Asante Kotoko in the MTN FA Cup, adding to their recent success in the Ghana Premier League.
For Asante Kotoko, the consecutive defeats serve as a wake-up call, highlighting areas for improvement as they strive to regain their form and competitiveness in both domestic competitions.
As the team reflects on their performances and prepares for upcoming matches, the words of Coach Ocloo serve as a reminder of the significance of seizing opportunities in football, a lesson they’ll undoubtedly take to heart in their subsequent matches in the ongoing 2023-24 Ghana Premier League season.
