Kotoko coach Prosper Ogum proud of players after win over Aduana FC

Asante Kotoko coach Prosper Narteh Ogum says he is proud of his players after they earned a 1-0 win over Aduana FC on match day 5 of the Ghana Premier League.

Lanky forward Kalo Ouattara scored the only goal in the fierce encounter by heading home from a well-curled cross from Richmond Lamptey.

Quattara’s 35th-minute goal secured a consecutive victory for Kotoko at the Baba Yara Stadium, marking the team’s first back-to-back wins this season following Monday’s 1-0 win over the Accra Lions.

Speaking after the game, Ogum was happy to see his team play well to win the difficult game.

“I’m proud of the boys for their consistent performance; the way we played in Accra, they have been able to reproduce the same in Kumasi.

“You can’t keep the intensity throughout; it was all about energy distribution.”I think we expended a lot of energy in the first half, and in the second half, they came in with a lot of energy, but then we kept our structure on the pitch and changed our game approach, and it worked.”

The Porcupine Warriors have moved up to the second position with 8 points ahead of the other games for matchday 5.

Kotoko will next play Nations FC next weekend.
