We were very poor against Debibi United – Kotoko coach Eric Tinkler

Asante Kotoko head coach Eric Tinkler has lamented his team's "very poor" performance in their 2-2 draw with Ghana Premier League newcomers Debibi United. The match took place at the Golden City Park in Berekum. Despite opening the scoring through Yakubu Dogo after 15 minutes, Porcupine Warriors struggled to maintain their lead.

Debibi United staged a strong comeback after halftime, with Richard Owusu netting twice to put the visitors ahead 2-1. Kotoko managed to equalize through Hubert Gyau in the 79th minute, resulting in a draw. Tinkler expressed dissatisfaction with his team's overall performance, stating, "I don't think we did enough to win this game."

The coach criticized his team's ball control and composure, saying they "were very poor and not good enough." The result leaves Kotoko seventh in the league after the opening round of fixtures. The team will aim to secure their first victory of the season when they host Heart of Lions at the Baba Yara Stadium in their next match.
