MTN FA CUP: Two second-half goals secure win for Asante Kotoko over BYFA

Asante Kotoko record a 2-0 victory over Bekwai Youth Football Academy in the MTN FA Cup round of 64 fixture at the Nana Gyamfi Park in Bekwai to progress to the next stage of the competition.

The competition’s defending champions played as a guest to the lower-tier outfit in the Round 64 stage of this season’s MTN FA Cup competition.

Despite Asante Kotoko’s unimpressive form in the Ghana Premier League in the past month, the team stepped up today and played to the instruction of head coach Mariano Barreto.

Dominating play throughout the 90 minutes, Fabio Gama Dos Santos scored to give Asante Kotoko the lead in the 51st minute from the spot before Emmanuel Keyekeh 10 minutes later powered the Reds to wrap up an important 2-0 win.

Courtesy of today’s win, Asante Kotoko are through to the Round 32 stage of this season’s MTN FA Cup competition.
