”We wanted to give them (Kotoko) a good fight today and we started the match as underdogs but we did the needful even though they played better.

Being needful means that we stayed back, defended well and played on the counter. We made use of the few chances that we got and that was the plan heading into the match.

The victory means that we are on course but it is too early to say anything but we believe that if we continue working hard, we can get a respectable position on the league table at the end of the season, ” he told StarTimes.

The win over Kotoko moved King Faisal level on points atop the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League Table with Kotoko, who has a better goal difference.
