Kumasi Asante Kotoko coach, Prosper Narteh Ogum admitted they faced a very tough side but added they couldn't play like how they wanted due to the bumpy nature of the pitch.
Young Apostles put up an impressive display to hold the 'Porcupine Warriors to a pulsating goalless draw at the Wenchi Sports Stadium last Wednesday in an outstanding match-week 20 fixture.
The homesters really gave the giants a very good run for their money especially in the second half where goalkeeper Frederick Asare rose up to the task at some point to ensure they leave with a point at least.
Speaking on Globe TV in a post-match interview, the experienced gaffer stated a very strong and physical side however he topped up that their game was hugely affected by the poor state of the pitch
"I think it was good game, both teams played well. Very physical game, the pitch wasn't good, it was bumpy and didn't allow both teams to play. They are all responding to training and gradually they are getting there."
"We failed to win most of the second balls and defensively anytime they balloon the ball, we head and leave spaces and we were slow in our reactions."
The 'Kum Apem' lads have dropped from the top to the second position with 39 points and will host newbies Basake Holy Stars in the next round of matches.
