Kotoko share honours with Ashgold to reach G6 final

Asante Kotoko sailed through to the final of the GHALCA organized First Trust G6 tournament after sharing honours with the league champions Ashgold at the Essipong Sports Stadium, Sekondi.

Kwame Boateng first half goal for Asante Kotoko was cancelled in added time by Isaac Amoah for Ashanti Gold in an evening of beautiful football from both sides

The Porcupine Warriors dominated their regional rivals Ashgold in the first 45 minutes and scored the only goal of the half through Kwame Boateng in the 20 minute, after capitalizing on a blunder by Desmond Agbekpornu.

The Miners back from recess piled pressure on the Porcupine warriors, but wasted the numerous free kicks that came their way and Eric Ofori Antwi also provided them the shield in post to deny the champions from scoring.

Kotoko also came into the game and could have punished Ashgold on the break, but Fatau Dauda also demonstrated good goalkeeping to save his side.

The woes of Ashgold was compounded when Augustine Sefah was sent off for foul play and just as everybody thought the game was ending in a 1-0 in favour  of Kotoko that Isaac Amoah outmuscled Edwin Frimpong Manso to snatch the  equalizer for the league champions with 2 minutes into injury time.

Kotoko will face Aduana Stars who topped Group B in the final of the competition at the same venue on Sunday at 3:00pm.
