The visitors nearly opened the scoring under one minute but Jonah Attuquaye’s strike hit the side net of the post.

Boosted by their 3-2 away win against Medeama SC at Tarkwa in mid-week WAFA accepted the challenge, dominating the first half of the game.

Legon Cities

They had two nicely taken corner kick but the final touches were very poor.

In the 31st minute, Justus Torsutsey opened the scoring for the Academy boys.

A minute to end the half, Legon Cities won a free-kick at the edge of the 18-yard box of the home side but it was kicked against the wall.

The first half ended 1-0 for WAFA.

Two minutes after recess, the Royals had a glorious opportunity to level the scores but striker Richmond Antwi’s header went wide.

A few minutes later, Justice Anane sent in a thunderous left-foot strike which hit the top of the post.

WAFA kept on tightly to ensure that they pick their second consecutive win.

Despite the improved performance from the Royals, they could not utilise their chances as WAFA picked up the three maximum points at home.

Kotoko legend Opoku Nti urges club to buy national team players to regain ‘big club’ status in Africa

0

Asante Kotoko legend Samuel Opoku Nti has urged his former club to recruit players who gain call-ups to the various national teams of Ghana if they would want to regain their status in Africa inter-club competitions.

The Porcupine Warriors have been struggling to regain their status on the continent.

They have not been able to go past the round of 16 stages in the CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup competitions in the last decade.

The former General Manager of the Reds believes that players with national teams background will make the team competitive in Africa and not be mere participants in the Caf competitions.

“If we want to play in Africa, then we should buy national team players. He (the player) must be matured before he can play for Kotoko. If he is not matured then he will need time to develop…it’s not only Kotoko, the big clubs in Europe have their kind of players they buy,” he said in an interview with Opemsuo Radio.

“However, Kotoko is a great team and anybody who has the opportunity to play should thank God and give his best. Kotoko is like Liverpool’s slogan “You’ll Never Walk Alone”. Kotoko will forever be will you even when after you are done. It will open doors. If you serve Kotoko well, then you will find yourself in what the bible described as “good name is better than riches,” he ended.

Asante Kotoko have won the CAF Champions League twice with Opoku Nti playing a major role in winning the second one in 1983.

They have since come hassle to winning either trophy several times including reaching the finals of the Champions League in 1993, the Winners Cup and Confederations Cup in 2002 and 2004 respectively

Asante Kotoko are currently sits top of the ongoing Ghana Premier League with 44 points, four more above second-placed Hearts of Oak.

Hearts midfielder, Daniel Kodie has successfully undergone his surgery in South Africa. 

The medical team at the Netcare Linksfield Hospital-South Africa led by the experienced surgeon, Dr. McCready completed the surgery for the player on Friday, May 14, 2021.

The player who is recuperating is expected to return to Ghana after a week to continue with his rehabilitation program at the Blue Valley medical Centre. 

Looking very cheerful and beaming with lots of smiles after the surgery, Kodie expressed his greatest gratitude to Hearts of Oak and especially to the Board Chairman for ensuring that he received the best of medical care which will resurrect his playing career. 

“I am grateful to Hearts and especially to the Board Chairman. I really appreciate his support because without that my career would have ended abruptly. I will forever be grateful to him and promise to remain loyal to this club. This is the greatest thing that has happened to my career”.

“ I also thank the medical team here and I will be committed to the  rehabilitation instructions that will be required to complete the healing process. Am optimistic to get back to the team to contribute my quota to the success of the club”.

We will continue to bring all the latest on his rehabilitation program to our followers on all of our social media channels.

2020/21 GPL: Match Preview: Liberty in battle for survival against leaders Asante Kotoko

League leaders Asante Kotoko will travel to Sogakope to face Liberty Professionals at the Red Bull arena on match day 25 of the Ghana Premier League. The Porcupine Warriors are on a three match winning run – having beaten Legon Cities, Dreams FC and Ebusua Dwarfs in their last three outings, scoring 6 goals and conceding 2 in the process.

Team captain Emmanuel Gyamfi was the hero in midweek – the winger netted twice as they came from behind to beat Ebusua Dwarfs 2-1 at the Obuasi Len Clay stadium.

Coach Mariano Barreto seems to have found the right balance – with Habib Mohammed and Salifu Mudasiru playing well in midfield. The backline has also improved under the Portuguese trainer – conceded four goals in their last four matches – an average of one goal per match.

Razak Abalora, Moro Ibrahim, Christopher Nettey, Mubarik Yussif and Isamail Ganiyu have been impressive at the back for the Warriors this term. They have leaked only 12 goals in the competition thus far. One thing that they haven’t lacked is goals – it excites coach Baretto.

Augustine Okrah (1), Michael Vinicius (1), Francis Andy Kumi (1) and Emmanuel Gyamfi (3) have been on target in their last four matches and despite the loss to Medeama SC on match day 21, the statistics put them in a great position heading into this fixture.

Kotoko have lost two on the road, (Elmina Sharks and Medeama SC) and drawn one against (Great Olympics) since Friday, March 5 – a confidence booster ahead of the game.

Liberty Professionals have not had an imposing performance in the League. They have won 6, drawn 7 and lost 11 and sit in 16thplace in the League log – 19 points behind Asante Kotoko who sit at the base of the table with 44 points after 24 matches.

The scientific soccer lads started the second half of the season on a promising note but have picked only one point in their last three matches.

The Dansoman lads lost to Great Olympics (2-0) and Legon Cities (2-1) before drawing 0-0 with Medeama SC at home. Goalkeeper Kofi Baah, hit man Kwame Karikari, winger Abraham Wayo, left back Evans Owusu, attacker Brite Andoh have to dig deep against Asante Kotoko on Sunday.

The match is scheduled for the Red Bull arena at Sogakope will be shown live on StarTimes Adepa Channel 247.

2020/21 GPL: Match Preview: WAFA face-off with Legon Cities at Sogakope

WAFA are still basking in their scintillating performance which earned them a 2-1 win at Medeama last week but their next opponents at home on Saturday, 15 May 2021 are Legon Cities and that looks tricky.

The Academy Boys were shocked the last time they played in Sogakope in a 3-2 reverse to Great Olympics.
The lessons learnt should be put to good use against a side motivated to pull away from the drop zone.

Prosper Narteh will be torn between maintain a winning team or tweaking his starting XI to accommodate some returnees.

Augustine Boakye, Samed Abdul Karim and Yousifou Atte who did not make the trip to Tarkwa are back and that should be good headache for the University Professor.

Legon Cities FC have been boosted by their recent win-a 2-1 scoreline-over Liberty Professionals to which lifted them to 15th position.

They had gone four matches without a win and that left them lifeless.

But the big-spenders have one match in hand as their last away clash at Ebusua Dwarfs was ended abruptly after the referee cited insecurity.
