GPL: Blowing a win late is very painful- Medeama Head Coach on draw with Kotoko

Medeama SC head coach Ibrahim Tanko has described his team blowing a two goal lead en route to drawing 2-2 with Kumasi Asante Kotoko, as very painful.

The Tarkwa based side stormed to a 2-0 lead getting goals in the fifth and 18^th minute respectively through Derrick Fordjour and Yusif Mubarik.

However, Kotoko responded in the second half through Peter Amidu Acquah and captain Samba “O’Neil” Gilbani with the latter’s goal coming via a header in the 92^nd minute.

Speaking after the game, Ibrahim Tanko shared his disappointment over his team’s inability to bag all three points away from home.

“We had a very good first half leading 2-0…in the end we lost concentration.”

“Conceding a goal in the 92^nd minute from a set piece is very painful. Unfortunately, we didn’t take the three points but I think we can live with this” Tanko said.

The result further compounds the problems for Kotoko as the Porcupine Warriors have just a win in their last six games.
