Kumasi Asante Kotoko Coach Steve Pollack says the decision to award his side a penalty in their 2-1 win over NEA Salamina in the MTN FA Cup quarter final game was the wrong call.

The fixture which was delayed due to Kotoko's accident last month saw Captain Amos Frimpong convert from the spot to send Kotoko into the Semis in the 95th minute of the game.

"I am always honest about penalty decisions, for me, it was not a penalty, I was embarrassed because I wanted to win the game but not this way".Pollack added
