Baroka FC pounced on a goalkeeping error from Richard Ofori through Ananias Gebhardt.
“In most cases, when a goalkeeper makes a mistake you concede. But it’s possible in all games, and when you consider the past games, he was always in the right situation in the right moment and he caught the ball,” Josef Zinnbauer told the media after the game.
“Today he lost the ball and it is so. He’s a player, and when a player makes a mistake and we concede, we have to work for each other and for the result.
“We did this but it was not enough for three points, it was enough [only for] one point. It’s not a problem for me; the goalkeeper has done very well in the past and saved us.
“Now he makes a mistake and it is so, we accept this. It’s not normal but it can happen, I know he’ll work on this and he knows very well what he did but we cannot change this situation.
“He’s a good goalkeeper. In all the past games we say always, ‘Wow, the goalkeeper saved the crosses and he’s very stable’, now he makes a small mistake.
“Even half-time he said he feels not so good, I don’t know if he got it on the bench but he made the mistake and we work for each other – we win with each other and lose with each other. The team fought for him and we got not enough, but it’s a point.” The coach lamented.
