Asante Kotoko interim head coach Prince Yaw Owusu says his side is determined to respond strongly after a disappointing home defeat to FC Samartex.
Kotoko suffered a 2–1 loss at the Baba Yara Stadium, with the match concluded on Monday, April 6, after heavy rains forced a halt to play a day earlier.
The result leaves the Porcupine Warriors fourth on the Ghana Premier League table on 43 points, eight behind leaders Bibiani Gold Stars.
Kotoko now travels to Tarkwa to face Medeama SC on Sunday, April 12. Medeama head into the clash on the back of a poor run that has seen them surrender a nine-point lead and slip to second place.
Speaking to the club’s media, Owusu stressed that the focus within the squad is firmly on delivering a positive reaction this weekend.
“In life, things happen; when it happens, you don’t have to let it keep you down. I have spoken to them…the boys are ready to fight back and make sure they bring some life into the supporters.”
“We are just going to counter attack and see if we can bring them down” Prince Owusu said.
