Samartex coach declines to comment on controversial Asante Kotoko penalty

Samartex head coach, Nurudeen Amadu has declined to comment on the controversial penalty awarded to Asante Kotoko on Sunday in their Ghana Premier League match week 27 game.

The Samreboi-based side lost after referee Mawuli Vormawah awarded what a lot of people described as a non-existent penalty in the 1-0 loss at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

That was FC Samartex’s first defeat in seven games, winning four of those six games and drawing two.

Speaking after the game, Nurudeen Amadu stated that he would not comment on the incident even without being asked.

“We had some few chances but we couldn’t bury them. The officiating, I don’t want to talk about it,” Amadu told official broadcaster, StarTimes.

The win moves Kotoko up to tenth with 36 points while Samartex remain top with 49 points despite the defeat.

Asante Kotoko finally won a game for the first time in 50 days, albeit in a controversial fashion.
