Frank Boateng explains how he mistakenly caused Medeama second goal against Hearts in FA Cup semi-finals
The 27-year-old blames the nature of the pitch for his unpardonable howler against Hearts of Oak at the Cape Coast Stadium.
Frank Boateng has explained how he conceded a goal from an innocuous ball in Medeama’s 3-0 loss to Hearts of Oak in the MTN FA Cup semi-finals.
The 27-year-old’s contract has later been terminated against the backdrop of his mistake as the Phobians cruise into FA Cup final.
“There was too much moisture on the pitch and that deceived me on the pace and direction of the ball,” he told Kumasi-based Pure FM.
With Medeama emerging as one of the teams with good defensive setup in the ended season, Frank Boateng’s loss would undoubtedly have huge negative impact on them next season.
To worse the problem is after first choice Eric Ofori Antwi has been heavily linked with a move to Hearts of Oak. The league champions are reportedly in negotiations to sign Ofori Antwi but latest reports indicates that Hearts of Oak have pulled out of the deal.
However, that doesn’t guarantee Antwi staying at Medeama as Legon Cities are reportedly closing in on move for the former Ghana U-20 International.
With departing company with Boateng and Ofori Antwi bound to leave within their ranks, Medeama need to find replacements as Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Felix Anann has been linked.
And the former Black Stars short-stopper who has also been linked with Hearts of Oak prefers joining Medeama SC.
Anann’s potential deal may be another impetuous factor for Frank Boateng’s departure amid creating non-competition environment for Felix Anann.
