Sogne Yacouba brace hands Kotoko 3-2 win over Ashgold

The Porcupines Warriors, buoyed by their back to back wins against arch rivals Hearts of Oak, twice came from behind to beat the Miners 3-2 at Baba Yara Stadium.

Former Kotoko striker Saddick Adams opened the scoring for Ashgold but his strike was cancelled out by Yacouba, who netted a delightful free kick before halftime.

Ashgold's lead was restored after the interval by another former player of Kotoko, Eric Donkor.

Yacouba again restored parity, this time with a deft header which beat visitors goalkeeper before defender Wahab Adams secured victory for Kotoko.

The second leg will take place at the home of Ashgold, Len Clay Stadium next week.
