Ghana midfielder Bernard Mensah has apologized to Kayserispor fans after missing a penalty in his side's 2-1 victory over Yeni Malatyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday.
The former Atletico Madrid midfielder missed a penalty on the stroke of half time despite inspiring his side to a 2-0 lead before the break.
The 25-year old provided the assist for both goals as the Red and Gold grabbed all three points in an empty Kadir Has Stadium.
“It would be very different if I turned the penalty into a goal . I'm sorry I couldn't kick the penalty. But the important thing was that we were victorious," the Ghana international said after the game.
The game was one of the many games to be played behind closed doors following the rapid spread of the deadly coronavirus.
"We were effective in the first half. We took control of the game," said Mensah. "We dropped from the game in the second half. We need to handle this.
"We made simple rust mistakes in the second half. But ultimately we won. We need to increase the wins to reach the goal. We will continue to fight in the remaining matches and we will collect points in order to stay in the cluster,' he concluded.
