Head coach of Golden Kick FC Fiifi Hanson Parker has reacted to his side's loss to Asante Kotoko over the weekend and said it was the match officials that decided the game but was very proud of the performance of his players
The Porcupine Warriors redeemed themselves after losing the league title with a precious 1-2 win over Golden Kick FC in the final last Sunday in an epic final at the University of Ghana Stadium
Kwame Opoku netted a brace in the game with his opening goal coming in the 17th minute from a close range header. Bless Ege levelled the score in the second half with a well-taken free kick before the latter converted a controversial penalty in the dying embers to win the 'Kum Apem' lads their tenth league cup
Speaking after the game, the tactical genius heaped praises on his players for their commanding performance and the fact that they never paniced at the expense of the giants. He further accused referee Latif Adaari and his assistants as the cause of their defeat
“I am very overwhelmed and happy with my players’ performance. They showed their class, they showed some character and they were determined,” Fiifi Parker Hanson told the media.
“Just that it’s unfortunate that decision makers made their rule, they put the rule into their own hands. To make history we had to win the game and we played according to how we planned and the boys played amazingly well.
“Everybody was determined to win the game and you can see we showed our class, we came in, nobody knows our players, and they are underdogs. We came to face these giants but at the end of the day the referee gave them the win.
“We are ok that they [Kotoko] didn’t score us plenty but at the end of the day the referee made sure he gave the win to them and this is on a silver platter.”
Golden Kick FC really gave a very good account of themselves last night with some entertaining football as many a Ghanaian football faithful feel the best side lost the game
