Kwame Opoku was the star of the show when Asante Kotoko defeated Golden Kick to win the 2024/25 MTN FA Cup.
Opoku scored the first or second half to help Karim Zito's side win 2-1 at the University of Ghana Stadium.
The Porcupine Warriors had an amazing start to the game, taking the lead after only 16 minutes through Opoku and completing off after some poor defending by Golden Kick.
Despite falling down, Golden Kick grabbed control of the game and controlled the tempo, creating good chances in the final third but unable to draw level.
Their equalizer, however, came in the 31st minute, when Bless Ege beat the Kotoko goalkeeper with a superb free kick.
The two teams headed into the break with the same score. Both teams had numerous chances to take the lead after recess but squandered them in the final moments.
Kotoko found luck on their side with only a few minutes remaining in the game. Zito's team was awarded a penalty when the referee ruled that the Golden Kick goalkeeper fouled Opoku in the box, a decision that has raised many issues. However, following debate with his assistant, the referee stood by his decision.
Opoku went up and converted the penalty to secure the FA Cup victory.
