Asante Kotoko head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has accepted full responsibility for his team’s elimination from the Ghana FA Cup competition. The Porcupine Warriors were eliminated on Monday after a 2-0 defeat to Karela United in the Round 16 tie.
Ogum acknowledged his team’s disappointing performance and promised to come back stronger in the Ghana Premier League. “I take full responsibility for our exit from the FA Cup. The teams’ performance fell short of the high expectation of our loving fabulous family and friends. We are sorry for the disappointment. We are dedicated and committed to come back and fight for the Ghana Premier League,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The match took place at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium, where both Premier League clubs exhibited a strong performance in the first half. Still, neither side managed to find the back of the net. Karela United secured victory in the second half to advance to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.
Karela United broke the deadlock just two minutes after the halftime break with a goal from Solomon Aboagye before Giyas sealed the win for his side in the 65th minute.
