Asante Kotoko head coach Karim Zito has voiced his frustration following his team’s goalless draw against rivals Hearts of Oak in their Ghana Premier League clash on Sunday.
Kotoko dominated for long stretches of the match at the Accra Sports Stadium but failed to make their chances count. After the game, Zito expressed his disappointment, particularly with his side’s wastefulness in front of goal.
“We squandered too many chances. We should have won, but we weren’t clinical enough,” he said.
Despite the draw, Zito remained defiant in his ambition to win the league, acknowledging that the path ahead will be tough but not impossible.
“I still stand by my target of winning the league, even if our chances look slim. Until it’s over, we’ll keep fighting,” he declared.
The Kotoko boss also pointed out his team’s superiority in attack, believing they created more than their opponents.
“In terms of creativity, we were ahead of Hearts of Oak,” Zito added, highlighting the number of openings his team fashioned throughout the game.
The draw extends Kotoko’s unbeaten run to eight matches—comprising two wins and six draws—and keeps them in fourth place on the league table. While the title challenge appears more difficult now, Zito remains hopeful that his team can mount a strong finish in the closing weeks of the season.
