My boys played well against Hearts – Johnson Smith
Assistant coach of Asante Kotoko Johnson Smith believes his players did well against Hearts of Oak in their outstanding matchday 14 clash of the Ghana Premier League.
The Porcupine Warriors were held top a 0-0 draw at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.
After just three minutes, Kotoko were handed an opportunity to take Kwame Poku clattered inside the box by Nuru Sulley and the referee Selorm Yao Bless rightly whistled for a penalty.
Opoku quickly elected himself to take it from 12 yards and the club’s top scorer dragged it to the left but Richard Atta dived to the right spot and grabbed it firmly.
In the dying embers of the game, Abalora gifted Hearts of Oak a penalty has he cynically brought down Isaac Mensah but the Ghana international goalkeeper produced a brilliant save to stop Mensah’s shot.
“Rating my players, i will say they did well because we did not concede a goal and we didn’t score as well but they did well” he said after the game.
Asante Kotoko are tied on points with Hearts of Oak, 24 each.
