Medeama Coach Ibrahim Tanko believes his team lost to Asante Kotoko due to a lack of focus and injuries.
In their Matchday 12 game versus the Reds, the Yellow and Mauve led 2-0, but Kotoko fought back for a 2-2 draw at Baba Yara Stadium.
Tanko said his players lost their concentration, which led to them losing the lead.
“I will say we lost concentration, and I have to say that because of injuries, it was really painful, and after leading 2-0, the game ended in 2-2. I mean, this is football [and] we have to go and work on our mistakes,” Tanko said.
“Maybe we made our changes earlier, and in the last twenty minutes, we couldn’t have anyone to change, and you could see that some of our players were tired.
“I mean, as I said, it’s football [and] normally before the game if you say I should take three points, I will agree, but how the game went, definitely we deserved the three points, but that’s football,” he added.
Medeama’s Derick Fordjour and Yussif Mubarik scored, then Peter Amidu Acquah and captain Samba O’Neil scored to delight the few home fans.
The result saw Medeama go joint top with Heart of Lions and Aduana with 23 points after 12 games. Asante Kotoko are 5th with 21 points, sharing the spot with rivals Hearts of Oak.
