VIDEO: Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Richmond Ayi breaks down in tears after Kotoko defeat

Published on: 11 December 2023

Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Richmond Ayi left the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in tears after the defeat to Asante Kotoko in the Super Clash. 

Ayi had a tough day in the office after his mistakes cost the Phobians in the 3-2 loss to their fierce rivals.

After the game, a visibly broken Ayi had to be consoled by his teammates and officials of the club as Hearts left Kumasi empty-handed.

The 26-year-old first punched a goal-bound shot into the path of Ugandan forward Steven Mukwala, who gave Kotoko an early second-half lead before his failure to clear a back pass saw the Reds extend their advantage.

The two goals from Mukwala in the second half left Hearts of Oak chasing a two-goal deficit, pulling one back late in stoppage time through Martin Karikari.

Congolese midfielder Linda Mtange opened the scoring at the Baba Yara Stadium in the 37th minute but his effort was cancelled by Isaac Oppong at the str9oke of half-time.
