Asante Kotoko coach, Prosper Narteh Ogum, has refrained from making a definitive judgment regarding the Nsoatreman goal that his team conceded during their recent match in match week 8 of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League.
The controversial goal, scored by Stephen Diyou, determined the outcome of the game at the Nana Kromansah Park. Debates regarding the goal began on social media while the match was still in progress.
After the game, Ogum declined to provide a final ruling on the penalty decision.
He stated, "The goal was scored, and the players were there, so they saw it better from where I was, and what I saw was what the players also saw."
Ogum further explained, "We had the right to go there and complain to the referee.
They complained, and he decided that upon their complaint, he would punish us even more by giving us a red card.
If you watched and you saw it to be an offside, and he gave us a red card in addition, the rest is up to you people to judge. I am not the one to judge; you are telling me, so I am taking your words.
So, if it was offside, and Ansu went and complained that it was offside, and he ended up allowing the goal and giving him a red card, then the rest is up to you people who saw it to be offside. It is for Ghanaians to judge it."
