Ghana Premier League: “Nations FC was affected by poor pitch” – Kassim Mingle

Head coach of Nations FC, Kassim Mingle has been left disappointed after their goalless draw at home to Asante Kotoko.

A cagey week five encounter that was marred by a soggy pitch due to heavy rains produced no goals at the Dr Kyei Complex on Saturday.

The result extended a record to five games of Kotoko failing to beat Nations at their backyard but Nations coach, Kassim Mingle wanted a win badly.

Nations FC wanted a win at all costs

“[Our performance] wasn’t bad but the nature of the pitch deprived us of a good football but it wasn’t a bad performance. We could have done better than this but it’s football,” Kassim Mingle said.

“We wanted to win but the pitch did not help us so we will take it like that without a comment.”

Nations FC have collected five points from five matches and seated in 12th, a position that has not gone down well with the club’s followers.
