Eric Bekoe helps Kotoko
to 5 - 0 victory over Olympics
Kumasi, Dec. 20, Ghanadot/GNA-
Fabulous Kumasi Asante Kotoko walloped Accra Great Olympics
5-0, in their one-touch mid-week premier league match played
at the refurbished Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on
Wednesday.
Eric Bekoe, the new-found striker of Kotoko hit a hat-trick
to send his tally in the goal king race to seven.
Eric scored his first in the fifth minute, with Daniel Nii
Adjei making it two for Kotoko in the 15th minute.
Eric's man of the match display culminated in his scoring
the third and fourth goals for his side in the 24th and 45th
minute respectively to end the half.
After recess Olympic brought in Winfred Dormon for Edward
Sasu while Asante Kokoto also substituted injured Nii Adjei
in the 49th minute with Stephen Oduro.
Kotoko who dominated Olympics increased the tally to five in
the 74th minute through Francis Akwafo, who connected home a
brilliant pass from Stephen Oduro.
Barely two minutes after his goal, Akwafo nearly hit the
target again in the 76th minute, but his shot hit the cross
bar and bounced into play.
With their pride at stake, Olympics made a second
substitution by bringing in Geshun Coffie in the 77th minute
for Osei Morrison, but their efforts to redeem a goal proved
futile as the defence of Kotoko stood gallantly.
Kotoko introduced Prince Amponsah in the 83rd minute for
Eric Bekoe.
In the 85 minute, an Olympic's attacker was brought down in
the 18 yard box and the referee did not hesitate to award a
penalty kick, however Sulemana Iddrisu's kick was saved by
goalkeeper Sulemana Abdulai in goal for Kotoko to keep a
clean sheet in all the five matches played so far.
