Razak, Duncan urge to ceasefire as Kotoko clash with Hasmal

Accra, Aug. 20, GNA - Mr Kojo Quarshie, an Executive member of Sekondi Hasaacas Football Club has urged the coaches of his club and Kumasi Asante Kotoko to comport themselves as the two team clash in the top-liner of the Kinapharma Premier matches on Sunday at the Gyandu Park.

The coaches, Abdul Razak and David Duncan of Kotoko and Hasaacas respectively verbally assaulted each other during their epic encounter at the Kumasi Sports Stadium last Sunday.

Kotoko won the ill-tempered match 2-1 where Razak charged on Accra-based referee W. L. Quaye for leniently showing a yellow card to skipper Aziz Ansah for elbowing an attacker.

"These are two very good and mature coaches and I expect them to let their work show rather than their word", Mr Quarshie said in Accra on Wednesday.

On the up coming match itself, Mr Quarshie said if last Sunday's game was anything to go by, then Hasmal should be able to beat Kotoko easily.

"Unless Kotoko claim they had a bad day, I don't see them beating Hasmal at Gyandu, no, not at all", the veteran sports administrator said.

He said Hasmal were tactically better last Sunday and their movement were more threatening and said but for bad officiating, Hasaacas could have at least secured a draw.

Hasaacas conceded two early goals but fought back gallantly to redeem a goal and were on the verge of equalizing when referee Quaye whistled for the end of the match.
