Kotoko Fans Tried To Lynch Their Players After Champions League Loss: The Players Had To Be Carted Away In Armoured Cars

This matter of fan violence just keeps rearing its ugly head time after time, and some measures are really needed to deal with it whenever the situation arises.

Fans need to understand that heartbreak and loss is part of the package; and if every side’s supporters decide to get violent after every loss then we’d probably go extinct; because football is a truly global game and majority of games ends with one side losing.

Kotoko lost to Algeria’s MC El Eulma in the CAF Champions league on Sunday, a 2-1 loss on home soil after earning an impressive 0-0 away draw.

The loss, in front of a capacity crowd at the Baba Yara sports stadium, didn’t go down too well with the fans.

Aside losing at home, which is never a fun thing for a supporter to digest; they also bemoaned the team’s commitment level, as well as the preparation carried out by management in anticipation of the game.

This and many other factors led to a very angry fan base waiting to meet their players at full time. Luckily, the police took swift control, whisking the players away in an armoured car convoy.

You would think with their history in fan violence in Ghana, Kotoko fans would know better by now. It seems they haven’t, and the fact that there were no casualties this time does not mean it’ll be the same next time.

Losing a game at home is disappointing, but it should never call for attempted attacks on your own team. Most of these fans would still come back to watch Kotoko’s next game, how can the players give of their best if they’re in mortal fear of their lives?

No one was arrested or anything, but the Police needs to be on their toes next time to carry out some arrests and prosecute those arrested. A little jail time should serve as a deterrent to the next batch of fans that have similar thoughts.
