Kotoko Beat Hearts On penalties To Win Trophy – Radio Univers 105.7 | Voice of Legon

Kumasi Asante Kotoko beat arch-rivals Accra Hearts of Oak 3-2 on Penalties to win the 2016 President Cup.

The game was played at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday (July 1)  in honour of President H.E John Mahama and also to celebrate Ghana’s ‘Republic Day.’

The Game attendance was not impressive as lots of  empty seats could be seen, However the game was not short of quality, with both teams proving wasteful infornt of goal.

Asante Kotoko began the game as the dominant side as they piled pressure on the Phobians and they had four-corner kicks in succession but they couldn’t make good use of it.

The Porcupine Warriors never allowed the Phobians to settle in the game as they bombarded the Accra giants with a lot of attacks. Hearts of Oak were left off the hook as Inusah Musah in the 8th minute cleared Dauda Mohammed’s header on the goal line.

Moment later, the Phobians initiated their first attack but Cosmos Duda failed to connect Patrick Razak’s low cross. Thomas Abbey who was used as make-shift left had it difficult to curtail the movement of Sarfo Gyamfi.

Hearts of Oak warmed themselves slowly into the game. However, Kotoko defenders dealt with the Phobians attacking machinery led by Cosmos Dauda. Patrick Razak in the 18th minute had the best chance in the game as he dribbled two Kotoko players including goalkeeper Ernest Sowah but he failed to put the ball at the back of the net.

During the penalty shout-out, Kotoko skipper Amos Frimpong slotted home the winnig penalty kick after Accra Hearts’s of Oak’s Ibrahim Musah, Paul Acquah, and Patrick Razak missed their kick  earlier on Eric Donkor and Samuel Kyere missed their kick for the Porcupine Warriors.
