Asante Kotoko's head coach, Eric Tinkler, expressed disappointment despite his team's victory over Heart of Lions. The Porcupine Warriors defeated the Kpando-based side 2-1 at the Baba Yara Stadium, marking their first win in six meetings. However, Tinkler was critical of his team's performance, stating they made the game unnecessarily challenging for themselves.
He acknowledged that Heart of Lions is a strong team capable of creating chances, but noted that Asante Kotoko managed the game well and created their own opportunities. Tinkler emphasized the need for defensive improvements, admitting that the team struggled even when playing with 10 men. Despite acknowledging their lackluster performance, Tinkler was satisfied to secure all three points.
The victory propelled Kotoko to fourth place in the Ghana Premier League table, followed by four points from their opening two matches. The team now looks to capitalize on this result when they travel to face FC Samartex in their upcoming Matchday 3 fixture at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena.
