Asante Kotoko head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has shouldered full responsibility for his team's elimination from the Ghana FA Cup competition following a disappointing 2-0 loss to Karela United in the Round of 16.
Despite a strong first-half performance from both sides at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium, neither team managed to score. However, Karela United surged ahead in the second half, securing their spot in the quarterfinals with goals from Solomon Aboagye in the 47th minute and Giyas in the 65th minute.
In response to the defeat, Ogum has accepted blame for his team's elimination and expressed regret for falling short of the fans' expectations.
“I take full responsibility for our exit from the FA Cup. The team's performance fell short of the high expectations of our loyal supporters and friends,” Ogum stated on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Despite the setback, Ogum remains determined and has vowed to bounce back, pledging to focus on the pursuit of the Ghana Premier League title.
“We are sorry for the disappointment. We are dedicated and committed to come back and fight for the Ghana Premier League,” he affirmed.
