Kumasi Asante Kotoko crushed Bechem United at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium on Wednesday afternoon in their outstanding Ghana Premier League game.
The match initially was scheduled to be played on 25th February, 2021 but was rescheduled due to torrential rains at Kotoko’s then home grounds the Accra Sports Stadium.
Kumasi Asante Kotoko shot into the lead with a ferocious free-kick from centre back Ismail Abdul Ganiyu from about 30 yards to open the scores for Kotoko in the 12th minute.
Silky Brazilian midfielder Fabio Gama added the second goal after being teed up by Andy Kumi before unleashing a fierce shot into the bottom corner of the net to double Kotoko’s lead in the 42nd minute.

Kotoko s new Portuguese coach Mariano Barreto was on the bench for the first time on Wednesday, having had to watch Saturday s 1-1 draw with Eleven Wonders from the stands due to delay in completion of his work permit.
The former Ghana coach made three changes to his side’s line-up, bringing back Samuel Frimpong and Habib while handing a first start to Kumi.
New Brazilian signing Vinicius also made the Porcupines bench for the first time.
Kumi could have put Kotoko in the lead just two minutes into the game but his header on Ibrahim Imoro s delivery went straight to Bechem goalkeeper Daniel Afadzwu.
