Keita scores late in Asante Kotoko win over King Faisal March 12, 2021 Naby Keita Striker Naby Keita scored a last gasp winner as Kotoko left it late to beat King Faisal 1-0 in an outstanding match day 15 League fixture. The Guinean import climbed off the bench to snatch the match-winner for the Porcupine Warriors at the Ohene Ameyaw park in Techiman. Keita replaced Patrick Asmah in the 69th minute and got on the score sheet with six minutes left on the clock. The attacker latched onto a pass inside the box and dribbled a King Faisal defender before planting a low left-footed shot int...

play videoAccra Great Olympics victory is the first in 26 years Asante Kotoko have been condemned to their first defeat in the season after losing the matchday 3 outstanding fixture against Great Olympics on Thursday. Midfielder Michael Yeboah scored the decisive goal in the second half as Olympics secured a 1-0 victory at the Accra Sports Stadium. The first half ended goalless with no clear-cut chances being created by the two teams. Kotoko were, however, forced to make a substitution in the 35th minute as Patrick Asmah picked up an injury. There hasn’t been a game this season without an...

Striker Kwame Opoku was named in the Kotoko starting XI, despite media rumours of having signed a four-year deal with Algerian side USM Alger. Faisal talisman Kwame Peprah, who has been linked to Hearts of Oak and Kotoko as potential replacements for Opoku, unsurprisingly led his outfit.

Augustine Okrah was the earliest to go close to finding the back of the net, his free-kick going just wide in the third minute. A minute later at the other end, Faisal similarly replied with a Richard Wiafe free-kick whi...

Tough task for Odartey Lamptey … leads Elmina Sharks against Kotoko March 5, 2021 Fabio Gama-Kotoko Barely five days after battling rival Hearts of Oak to a nail-biting barren game, Asante Kotoko will this evening seek to garner maximum points as they engage Elmina Sharks in a dicey week-17 league tie at the Ndoum Park in Elmina. Kick-off is at 6.pm. It will be the first game for interim coach Nii Odartey Lamptey, who was appointed after Sharks parted ways with Yaw Acheampong and two other backroom staff.  It is certainly a huge task for Lamptey in the dugout. Indeed, Sharks are ye...

Dwarfs, meanwhile, are left ninth on the league table after nine rounds of matches. Coach Johnson Smith made two changes to the starting set-up which held Wafa to a 1-1 draw on Sunday while maintaining Ghana goalkeeper Razak Abalora and Brazilian sensation Fabio Gama Dos Santos. Dwarfs coach Ernest Quartey predictably put faith in talisman Dennis Korsah to lead his side. In the third minute, Imoro Ibrahim tested Dwarfs goalkeeper Razak Issah with a free-kick, the shot-stopper collecting on the second grab after spilling the first attempt. Dangerman Kwame Opoku made his maiden attempt in the ...
