Apologize to us for starting the game with 10-men for superstitious reasons – Kotoko fans tell management

The fans of Kumasi Asante Kotoko are very angry after their team started the game with Aduana Stars with 10-men.

While the club has not given the reason why the team played the entire first 45 minutes with 10-men, the fans of the club believe it was for superstitious reasons.

Before the start of the game, Kotoko midfielder, Martin Antwi went off the pitch and spent the entire first half on the bench. Aduana’s Farouk Adams also followed in the footsteps of Antwi and also left the pitch.

After the game, the coach of Kotoko was asked why his team started the game with 10-men and he answered he cannot explain that.

Also, before the start of the second half, Kotoko defender, Christopher Nettey was shown the yellow card for attempting to drop something in the goalpost of Aduana Stars. He was stopped some players of Aduana and a club official. He later put the thing in his mouth before it was thrown away.

The same media firms who have been dedicating their airwaves to mallams, seers etc to predict our games will be the same guys who'll be bashing Aduana and Kotoko today on their show.

If we want the clubs to stop, then let's stop entertaining these seers on our media platforms.

You are going to get Aduana and Kotoko fans who will justify this prehistoric act because they want to be known as 'die hard fans'

Kotoko and Aduana have no idea how these things wrecks and tarnishes their reputation.

Very important to note that Kotoko and Aduana have done nothing in breach of football laws.

They played with 10 men each for 90 minutes.

Whether it was due to superstition or not can be discussed later. They broke no laws.

Bizarre, yes. Illegal? No.
