Asante Kotoko assistant coach Orlando Wellington is hoping the win over FC Samartex 1996 can prove to be a “turning point” for his side.
The Porcupine Warriors recored an impressive 2-1 win away at Nsenkyire Park in Sameraboi on Saturday.
The Kumasi-based giants were not in action on Matchday 21 of the betPawa Premier League and needed a win to put smiles on the face of their fans following the narrow 1-0 loss to arch rivals Accra Hearts of Oak on Matchday 20.
Enock Morrison and Rocky Dwamena’s first half strikes did the damage as Kotoko came out victorious in a fiercely contested match.
“It will be a turning point if they still play according to instructions and maintain tactical discipline,” Wellington said in an interview with StarTimes.
The assistant coach also emphasized the significance of adequate preparation, stating that the team had enough time to train and strategize.
“They deserve it because we had at least enough time to prepare the team and what I saw from the training ground gave me the confidence that we are going to come out with either win or draw.”
Kotoko are now third on the table with 34 points but with a game in hand. The champions are 5 points behind leaders Aduana FC and 3 points adrift of second placed Accra Lions.
