Head coach of Asante Kotoko, Prosper Narteh Ogum
The head coach of Asante Kotoko, Prosper Narteh Ogum, praised his team and Sekondi Eleven Wise for their strong performances on Wednesday afternoon after their MTN FA Cup clash.
The Porcupine Warriors hosted the lower-division outfit at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in the Round of 16 of the domestic cup competition.
Courtesy of a solitary strike from Elvis Kyei Baffour, Kotoko secured a narrow 1-0 win to advance to the quarterfinals.
Speaking in his post-match interview, Coach Prosper Narteh Ogum expressed his delight while commending Sekondi Eleven Wise for their impressive display.
“It was a good game where both teams played very well. We tried as much as possible to keep possession of the ball and play it behind their defensive line because we realized they mostly stayed in a low block or a medium block. So, we kept the ball, and whenever the opportunity arose, we played it behind them. I think both teams played well. The most important thing is that we won and are moving forward to the next stage of the competition,” Coach Ogum said.
Following the Round of 16 victory, Asante Kotoko will now take on True Democracy in the quarterfinals of the MTN FA Cup.
