Bechem United coach Mallam Yahaya has struck a defiant tone after his side were heavily beaten by Asante Kotoko in their Matchday 16 Ghana Premier League encounter.
The Hunters were overwhelmed 6-0 by the Porcupine Warriors at the Baba Yara Stadium, a result that propelled Kotoko to the top of the league table.
The veteran trainer admitted the loss was painful but believes it should serve as motivation rather than discouragement.
“As for disappointment, it is normal. We are down but we are not going to give up. It’s a huge loss for me and the entire team.
“Despite the setback, we are going to work hard and ensure we win games to place the team in a good position,” he said after the match.
Bechem United’s struggles this season have left them hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone.
After 16 league outings, the Hunters have managed just 16 points, underlining their inconsistent form.
