Bechem United's goal disrupted our game plan - Asante Kotoko coach Prosper Narteh Ogum
Asante Kotoko head coach, Prosper Narteh Ogum, beleives they should have won the game in the first half against Bechem United.
The Reds hosted the Hunters in the matchday seven games at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday.
Youngster Peter Acquah gave the home side the lead but former Kotoko winger, Augustine Okrah scored for Bechem United to end the game 1-1.
Speaking after the game, Narteh Ogum lamented the missed chances in the first half.
According to him, their game plan was disrupted after the former FA Cup champions scored.
“I think we played well in the first half. We created a lot of chances and we should have ended the game in the first half but we didn’t take our chances. They came back in the second half, got a goal and that changed the complexity of the game but I am okay.
“I think the issue was their equalizer, the goal that they scored, I think that gave them some energy. It was a psychological goal, it gave them some energy. We needed to be mentally stronger to forge ahead to create the chances and score.
“For the intensity, I think we were able to match with the intensity of the game. It was just the goal that I think disturbed the players and that is why they behaved the way they behaved," he added.
The draw leave Asante Kotoko at the 7th on the summit with 10 points.
The Porcupine Warriors will be hosted by league leaders, Nsoatreman FC in the matchday eight games at the Nana Kronmansah Stadium.
