Head Coach for Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Charles Kwablah has stressed that his team will need to improve now that they have secured qualification into the semi-finals of the GFA Normalization Committee (NC) Special Competition.

The Porcupine Warriors played a 1-1 draw with Aduana Stars earlier this afternoon to ensure they finished ahead of Medeama SC on the Premier A standings. Though both teams have 22 points apiece, the Kumasi based side has progressed because of the head to head rule.

Speaking in an interview with GTV after the match, CK Akonnor indicated that the team did not play as well as he wanted and they will need to improve on their performance in subsequent matches.

“We need to improve. In the first half we weren't too good, we were not aggressive, we were not compact and we allowed the opponent to at a point in time have the ball for, I don't know how many minutes but I didn't like that. Second half we got better and we possessed the ball very well. Either win or draw and I think we got the draw so am happy”, Coach Akonnor indicated.

He further shared that he is satisfied the Kumasi based side has managed to qualify for the knockout stage.

“What was important for us was to qualify and I think if you look at the ratings I think we have qualified so I am sort of satisfied” the gaffer said.
