Berekum Chelsea head coach Samuel Boadu saw red during his side’s hard-fought 0–0 draw against Asante Kotoko on Sunday, following a heated clash with referee George Mawuli Vormawor.
The drama unfolded in the 70th minute when Boadu vehemently protested a decision by the centre referee. Despite an initial caution, the coach’s persistent dissent forced Vormawor to brandish the red card, sending Boadu to the dressing room to witness the remainder of the match from afar.
Even with their tactician absent from the touchline, Chelsea displayed remarkable discipline and organisation, frustrating a possession-heavy Kotoko side. Their resolute defensive shape and collective focus ensured a hard-earned point on the road.
The stalemate offers some respite for Chelsea, who continue to linger in the relegation zone amid a challenging campaign. While Boadu’s disciplinary episode raises concerns, the team’s resilience in Kumasi signals glimmers of improvement as they aim to navigate the remainder of the season safely.
