In the 2024–25 Ghana Premier League, Asante Kotoko has credited defensive synergy for the team's lower goal total thus far.
OGUM's methodical and meticulous defensive strategy has stood out in a season where many teams have had trouble staying organized.
In their six games this season, the Porcupine Warriors have only given up two goals, both of which came in 1-1 ties.
The coach of the squad claims that the players have shown remarkable technical and tactical synergy, which enables them to cover one another efficiently and maintain a straightforward defensive strategy.
"The players have excellent coordination both tactically and technically. They work closely together and make an effort to cover one another in the back.
They make the most straightforward decisions in the back, trying to keep things as simple as possible. They are very aggressive and play hard, rugged, and strong at the back.
They always make sure to get the ball first, and they attempt to keep things easy when they win.
Therefore, I believe it has to do with the rear construction. They simplify things at the back and are incredibly well-coordinated.
With 14 points, the Porcupine Warriors are in second place in the league, one game behind the GoldStars, who have yet to lose this season.

Kurt Okraku is partially to blame for the Black Stars' lackluster performance versus Sudan, according to Kofi Manu.
Kofi Manu, a seasoned football administrator, has questioned Kurt Okraku's behavior with Black Stars players before this month's pivotal 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifier against Sudan.
A day before the Black Stars' match against Sudan at the Accra Sports Stadium, Okraku criticized the team, voicing doubts about the players' dedication and zeal.
In an interview, Kofi Manu, however, maintained that Okraku erred by yelling at the players before the game.
Kurt Okraku erred by shouting and speaking to the players in such a way while the camera was on. He even went so far as to inform Alexander Djiku and Mohammed Kudus that Black Stars existed before them and would do so even after he retired.
Furthermore, I want to know if Kurt Okraku, the GFA's president at the time Black Stars was established in 1957, was still alive. If you talk to players like that, how can you expect them to fight and suffer for their country?
"You don't talk to players in that way twenty-four hours before a game that important. I think he should have apologized to the players for yelling at them. But because he was too shy to go with the team to Libya, he went to Germany to watch the Black Satellites play Germany in a friendly match that resulted in a crushing loss.
For the first time since 2004, the West African superpower is in danger of missing out on qualifying for the CAF's premier event after losing to Sudan in the doubleheader.
The Black Stars lost to their opponent 2-0 in the Benina Martyrs Stadium in Libya after playing to a 0-0 draw at the Accra Sports Stadium.
