Kumasi Asante Kotoko head coach Seydou Zerbo has refused to hold back on the performance of referee Amadu Ibrahim over his handling of Kotoko’s headline game against Aduana Stars in the MTN FA Cup.
Zerbo delivered his harsh criticism of the game official’s performance in the aftermath of Kotoko’s 0-1 loss to Aduana at the Round of 16 stage in Dormaa.
Sam Adams converted a penalty in the 57th minute to give Aduana the win and seal progression to the quarterfinal stage of the competition.
Speaking through an interpreter, the Burkinabe coach was far from impressed with referee Amadu’s performance in the game.
“Yes we were defeated but it is the referee’s effort that won the match for Aduana. I am not somebody who talks too much about referees but the way they threatened the referee at half time, that’s why the referee changed his mind” he said.
Kotoko returns to betPawa Ghana Premier League action on Wednesday, March 1 against Bechem United.
