Asante Kotoko head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has expressed his disappointment with his team’s inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities in their 1-1 draw against Samartex in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.
Kotoko’s marksman Kwame Opoku scored his sixth goal of the season to cancel out Dramani Awuah’s 39th-minute strike for Samartex. However, Ogum’s side failed to take advantage of several clear-cut chances, particularly in the second half.
Dauda Saaka and Isaac Mintah were the main targets, squandering glorious opportunities to secure a win for the Porcupine Warriors.
Speaking to the media after the game, Ogum acknowledged that both players should have converted their chances.
“I am not happy about it because if you look at both chances, I think they should have scored, looking at their pedigree,” he said.
“If you look at the game, it was a tense game, and normally when players become tense, sometimes their technique execution is also affected.”
Despite the draw, Kotoko remain at the top of the table with 38 points.
The Porcupine Warriors face Young Apostles in their next league match.
