“We didn’t do well” – CK Akonnor on Ashgold semifinal defeat

CK Akonnor stated that his boys didn’t play well against Ashantigold in the semifinals of the Special Competition, he added that Ashantigold were the better team in the encounter.




Ashantigold were dominant on Wednesday against Asante Kotoko in the tier-two Special Competition semifinals as the beat the Porcupines 3-1 in a thrilling game.

“We lost because we couldn’t keep the ball. Our opponent were better than us in terms of possession. They controlled the game. We came in with the idea of stopping the midfield by making sure that players like McCarthy (Appiah) and others wouldn’t get much of the ball. We couldn’t handle the situation in midfield,” CK Akonnor told reporters.



“Fortunately for us, we got an early goal which normally would encourage any other team to play but we lost it in the middle. Ashanti Gold controlled the game. They play very well. They were better than us. We didn’t do well. The ability to show hunger for success was not there today (yesterday) compare to what we did against Hearts of Oak,” he ended.
Ashanti Gold will face Nzema Kotoko in the finals of the competition after their 2-1 win against Unistar Academy at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.
