Baretto fumes at Kotoko players …after losing top spot to Hearts
May 25, 2021
Asante Kotoko Head Coach Mariano Baretto fumed at his team for a late first-half equaliser that ended their 26th week league clash on Saturday 1-1, describing the goal as ‘silly’ goal.
The Portuguese trainer’s frustrations stemmed from the fact that the result meant Kotoko were unable to regain the top spot on the league standings and were now locked on 46 points with arch-rivals Hearts of Oak, with the ‘Phobians’ leading the pack on superior goal difference after edging Eleven Wonders 1-0 at Techiman on Friday.
“We were playing against a team that was eager to win, we started very well and took the lead and then last minute of the first half, we concede a ‘silly’ goal. That goal is unacceptable since we have been practicing around these situations especially when the opponent has free throws and other set-pieces.

If for nothing at all, revenge is emblazoned on the mind of Kotoko, as Olympics seek a rare double over their more accomplished opponents in their Week 20 tantalising clash at the Accra Sports Stadium.
True to their wondrous nature, Olympics demonstrated some mesmerising display of panache, verve and purpose to beat their more illustrious Kotoko side 1-0 at the Accra Stadium in their December clash of the campaign – the solitary goal decanting from the foot of Michael Yeboah.
