Akakpo Patron
Asante Kotoko returned to winning ways with a win over Bechem United to ease the pressure on the technical team led by coach Paa Kwesi Fabin.
Kotoko were under intense pressure following back to back defeats against Hearts of Oak and Karela United. But a second-half strike by winger Emmanuel Gyamfi was enough for Kotoko to beat Bechem 1-0 to return to winning column.
And assistant manager Akakpo Patron couldn’t hide his excitement, claiming his side showed more desire to secure full spoils.
“Actually we started the game very well. We created some few chances but we could not take them. We let them into the game and could have got a few ones but at the end, it’s the three points that matter most,” he said in his post-match interview.
”We are happy with it because the lad gave everything and the commitment was also there,”
The win lifted Kotoko to 8th place with seven points behind leaders Ashgold ahead of their next assignment against Elmina Sharks. Myjoyonline
