Asante Kotoko interim head coach Prince Yaw Owusu has conceded that the Ghana Premier League title is slipping away from the Porcupine Warriors following a damaging 1-2 home defeat to FC Samartex.Speaking in a sombre post-match press conference at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, Owusu admitted that the club’s current mathematical standing makes a championship charge increasingly unlikely.”It looks like that,” Owusu remarked when asked if the race was over. “I dont know, this is football, but right now, when I look at the points and where we are, it doesnt look good.”The defeat, which saw Samartex capitalise on defensive lapses through goals from Christian Agyenim Boateng and Emmanuel Essien, left Kotoko eight points adrift of league leaders Bibiani GoldStars with only six matches remaining in the season.The coachs blunt assessment marks a sharp turn in tone from early March, when he insisted the title chase remained open.However, a recent slump in form and a lack of tactical disciplinea point Owusu highlighted during his briefinghave left the record champions languishing in fourth place with 43 points.With a daunting away fixture against second-placed Medeama SC looming on April 12, the pressure on Owusus interim tenure has intensified.
