The Porcupine Warriors and the Phobians displayed top level performance to play out a scoreless stalemate at the Accra Sports Stadium in their rescheduled Ghana Premier League fixture.

Boadu controversially said after the game in the press conference that league leaders Asante Kotoko aren’t anything extraordinary and wouldn't have even beaten Hearts' youth side, Auroras.

Boadu's comments didn't go down well with the member of Kotoko's technical team, who took to Twitter to question Boadu's professionalism for making such derogatory remarks.

Isaah tweeted:

“I doubt his professionalism, every professional will respect your opponents and you don’t speak sh*t about them, we are still on top Krobea. Fabulous, we move.”

Kotoko finished the first round of the 2021/22 season at the summit of the league with 37 points.
