Kotoko coach Prosper Ogum satisfied with team’s performance against Heart of Lions

Asante Kotoko’s head coach, Prosper Narteh Ogum, has expressed satisfaction with his team’s performance although Kpando Heart of Lions held his side to a scoreless draw on Sunday at the Baba Yara Stadium.

The Porcupine Warriors wanted to start the 2023/24 league season off in a big or smooth way after rivals Hearts had lost in the season’s opener, but they faced a competitive Lions outfit that continuously threatened an upset.

In the second half, Mustapha Yakubu, the dangerous player for the Lions, scored off a rebound, but the assistant referee raised his flag for offside.

However, television replays indicate that the decision was poor.

Ogum’s team, which included both old and new players, displayed encouraging early-season indicators that they would improve.

He told StarTimes’ Prince Annang aft the game that : “Yeah, I’m okay with it. I’m satisfied because we have a blend of new and old players trying to get the game model going. So, to me what I saw today is good of individual player.

“But then we can do better. It’s good, better, best. So, what I saw was good. I’m okay with it.”

Kotoko will play Bibiani GoldStars in their next game at the Dun’s Park.
