Asante Kotoko SC, head coach, Prosper Ogum Narteh has said his team played better in the 3-2 loss to neighbours King Faisal.
According to Ogum, Kotoko created all the chances but could not add the finishing touch.

Prosper Narteh believes failing to convert their chances came back to hunt his team.
“I think we played well, we created chances, we could have converted those chances, we couldn’t convert those chances and in the game of football and in the game of football if you don’t convert your chances that is what happens.”
Prosper Narteh, in addition, highlighted that his team had a flat start in the local derby.
“When we started the game we were flat and they caught us two times on the break and I think that cross passes they were able to connect them.”
