Centre back, Awal Mohammed, has appealed to Kotoko supporters not to lose confidence in him because of the penalty incident that gave Berekum Arsenal the chance to draw level in the week five Glo Premier League duel at the Golden City Park last Sunday.

Kotoko were leading Arsenals 1-0 when the dependable centre back fouled an opponent in the 18-yard box with three minutes to the end of the game.

Many Kotoko supporters were therefore disappointed. Some of them expressed serious concern over the manner in which the team concedes penalty kicks in matches.

In an interview with Kotoko Express on Wednesday, Awal Mohammed conceded the development in Berekum was really unfortunate and painful, but he also argued that the fans need not lose confidence in him.

“They should have faith in me. What happened at Berekum was bad because we were winning the game until the penalty came. Our supporters should continue to support us. We will deliver the right results no matter the difficulty” said Awal Mohammed.

He received massive support in the game against Mighty Jets with the Circles and Warriors groups displaying banners indicating their love and support for him and the entire team.
