Asante Kotoko: I was disappointed with Steven Mukwala's performance - Seydou Zerbo after draw with Hearts of Oak

Asante Kotoko head coach, Seydou Zerbo has criticized the performance of striker, Steven Mukwala following their 1-1 draw against Hearts of Oak.

The Porcupine Warriors were held by their bitterest rivals to a 1-1 drawn game at the Baba Yara Stadium in the week three fixtures of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League.

Caleb Amankwah scored late with a brave header to cancel out Mubarik Yussif's early lead to share the points among the two clubs.

Speaking after the game, the Burkinabe gaffer has admitted his side played to perfection but is disappointed they couldn't snatch all three points.

He added that he hasn't been impressed with his Ugandan forward Steven Mukwala's performance so far and is expecting more from him in their subsequent matches.

"We were all disappointed with our performance last week. We went to right our wrongs and played well but not happy for not getting all three points," he said.

"With Mukwala, I wouldn't say I'm ok. He is our leading scorer and his duty is to score. I will not say I'm ok but we will go back to figure out what went wrong and work towards it.

"We are building a new team with new signings, so I'm edging the supporters to be calm and I hope with time, they will adapt to the Kotoko philosophy and playing in front of the huge crowd, and will get back on track," he added.

• What next?

Asante Kotoko will host Nsoatreman FC in one of their outstanding fixtures on Wednesday, September 28, 2022.
