Asante Kotoko head coach Karim Zito expressed his frustration after his team was held to a 0-0 draw by arch-rivals Hearts of Oak in their Matchday 30 clash at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The Porcupine Warriors had entered the encounter hoping to build on their recent win over Aduana FC, which ended a four-match winless streak.
Despite dominating much of the game, Kotoko failed to convert their chances into goals.
“We squandered too many chances. We should have won, but we weren’t clinical enough,” Zito said after the match.
Despite the setback, the Kotoko boss remains optimistic about their league ambitions.
“I still stand by my target of winning the league, even if our chances look slim. Until it’s over, we’ll keep fighting.”
Zito also praised his side’s attacking display, insisting Kotoko showed more creativity on the day.
“In terms of creativity, we were ahead of Hearts of Oak,” he added.
The draw extends Kotoko’s unbeaten run to eight matches, comprising two wins and six draws. They currently sit 4th on the league table with 51 points, while Hearts of Oak follow in 6th place with 46 points.
Up next, Asante Kotoko will host Dreams FC, while Hearts of Oak hit the road to face Berekum Chelsea.
