FC Samartex head coach Nurudeen Amadu has minimised the impact of his team’s 1-0 defeat to Asante Kotoko on their Ghana Premier League title charge.
The match, held at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, saw referee Mawuli Vormawah award a controversial penalty to the Porcupine Warriors.
Despite this being their first loss in seven games, the former King Faisal Amadu remains optimistic about his team’s chances, stating their continued position atop the league table with an unchanged five-point lead over second-place Nations FC.
“We are still very ambitious and we are going forward. I mean, if the performance was not good, then we will have a cause to be worried” he said in a post match presser.
“I think that they did their best only that their best was not enough. I congratulate them. It was a good game. We will look forward to other matches.”
Samartex’s next game is against Great Olympics in Samreboi on the 28th April 2024.
