Berekum Chelsea Hold Kotoko to a Draw, Leaving Fans Frustrated
Kumasi Asante Kotoko, widely tipped to win this season’s Ghana Premier League, endured another frustrating evening as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Berekum Chelsea. This result marked a second consecutive draw for the Porcupine Warriors, leaving their loyal supporters increasingly discontent.
Many of Kotoko’s faithful fans have already expressed concerns, urging the technical team to quickly address the team’s form. They believe the squad, filled with quality recruits, has yet to show its true potential. Pressure is mounting on head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum, with fans expecting nothing less than consistent victories if they are to claim the league title.
Speaking after the match, Ogum sought to calm the unrest within the fanbase, offering reassurance of better results ahead. “I assure the fans we will deliver them more wins going forward,” the coach promised, aware of the stakes as Kotoko aims to get their title challenge back on track.
The game had begun brightly for Kotoko when forward Dwamena netted in just the second minute, igniting hopes of a much-needed victory. However, Berekum Chelsea, coached by Samuel Boadu, responded with an equalizer in the 61st minute through Zackaria, ensuring they maintained their coach’s unbeaten streak against Kotoko. Boadu, who has a reputation for thwarting Kotoko during his stints with Medeama and Hearts of Oak, once again demonstrated his tactical prowess.
The result leaves Kotoko needing to regroup swiftly if they are to fulfill their title ambitions, while Berekum Chelsea continues to prove a tough nut to crack under Boadu’s leadership.
