Samba O’Neil has suffered his first league defeat against while starting for Kumasi Asante Kotoko SC.
The Kotoko captain, alongside teammate Kelvin Osei Asibey, experienced a disappointing moment as the Porcupine Warriors fell short in their latest Super Clash encounter. Until this fixture, O’Neil had never tasted defeat in a league game against Hearts of Oak when named in the starting lineup.
The loss marks a significant turning point in the defender’s personal record in Ghana’s biggest club rivalry. Known for his leadership and composure at the back, O’Neil had previously enjoyed positive results in this high-profile fixture.
However, football once again proved unpredictable as Hearts of Oak edged Kotoko to claim bragging rights. Despite the setback, O’Neil and his teammates will be eager to bounce back strongly in their upcoming matches as the league campaign continues.
