Asante Kotoko’s CEO speaks on bad officiating in the Ghana Premier League
Chief Executive Officer for Asante Kotoko, Nana Yaw Amponsah, has voiced out ferociously following his side’s defeat against Karela United on Thursday.
The current GPL champions suffered a 1-0 defeat at the CAM Park in their matchday fixture of the ongoing season.
Referee Emmanuel Tampuri awarded Karela United a controversial penalty after Kotoko’s Mohammed Sheriff ran into a clumsy challenge just behind the box.
However, Samuel Atta Kumi stepped up and made no mistake, ending Kotoko’s six game unbeaten run.
Nana Yaw Amponsah’s rage was in reaction to that controversial penalty call that led to Kotoko’s 1-0 defeat to Karela United.
He posted an image of the incident that appeared to be wrong and captioned it: “The deliberate attempts to provoke me are very well noted.”
In another tweet, Nana Yaw Aponsah posted an image of a wrong penalty call that cost Kotoko to drop points against Bibiani Gold Stars at Dun’s park on week 13.
He captioned the image with an Akan proverb that translates to ‘if you persistently chase a coward, you will bring out the real man in him’.
“The deliberate attempts to provoke Asante Kotoko is also very well noted. S3 wo pamo ohufuo a wok)to ni b33ma #Kum Apem a Apem B3ba.”
The Porcupine Warriors have dropped to fifth position on the table with 24 points, while Karela United have climbed to 14th with 19 points after 15 games.
Asante Kotoko will host Accra Lions on matchday 16 at the Baba Yara Stadium on Monday.
