Asante Kotoko head coach Abdul Karim Zito has urged caution within his squad following their 3-1 defeat to Vision FC in the final match of the 2024/25 season.
The Porcupine Warriors fell to the debutants at the Nii Adjei Okraku II Complex in Tema, but despite the setback, Kotoko secured a spot in the league’s top four with a total of 58 points.
Rather than dwelling on the loss, Zito emphasized the lessons to be learned as they prepare for the upcoming FA Cup final.
“The positive side of this game is that it serves as a wake-up call for the finals [FA Cup]. I saw this coming even before the Medeama game, so I am not overly worried. At the end of the day, winning this match would not give me the title but will place me in a better position,” he said.
“It is a wake-up call for the finals, and I’m glad to see it now because it will help me rearrange my boys well for the finals. Positively, it will help me. So I told them I’m going to use this game to prepare for the finals,” he added.
Asante Kotoko now shift their focus to the FA Cup final against Golden Kick FC, scheduled for this weekend at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
