MTN FA Cup: Angry Kotoko fans blame elimination on referee

Supporters of Asante Kotoko have accused referee Amadu Ibrahim of being to blame for their MTN FA Cup Round of 16 loss to Aduana Stars on February 26, 2023, on various social media platforms.

Aduana Stars defeated the Porcupine Warrior at the Nana Agyemang Badu II in Dormaa Ahenkro, ending their chances of winning a second consecutive championship in the ongoing 2022–2023 football season.

Aduana Stars took the lead in the 57th minute after Mohammed Alhassan was ruled to have fouled his defender by the referee. The game was closely contested, and both teams missed opportunities.

Sam Adams converted the penalty kick to score the game’s lone goal, sending goalkeeper Fred Asare the wrong way.

The decision didn’t go down well with Asante Kotoko fans, including coach Seydou Zerbo, who laid the blame at the doorstep of referee Amadu Ibrahim.

Asante Kotoko has been eliminated from the MTN FA Cup six times since winning it in 2017.
