Andy Okpe wins MOTM award in Inter Allies defeat to Asante Kotoko

Inter Allies forward Andy Okpe was the star of the day despite the Capelli boys narrow defeat to Asante Kotoko on matchday 29 of the Ghana Premier League at Dawu on Monday afternoon.

The Fabulous club recorded a 3-2 victory over the relegation-threatened side to keep their title hopes intact.

Kotoko opened the scoring in the 26th minute after Emmanuel Gyamfi connected a headed pass from Adomako but Inter Allies levelled through Alex Aso.

Evans Adomako restored Kotoko’s lead before the break but youngster Andy Okpe who replaced Samuel Armah in the starting line-up grabbed the equalizer for the home side before Andrews Appau scored the match-winner.

Okpe, a former Nigeria U-20 player, was a handful for the Porcupine Warriors defence as his nimble feet and close control was too much to handle.

He was instrumental for Inter Allies on the day despite losing to the title contenders.

He could have achieved brace but lacked precision upfront.

Okpe joined Inter Allies in the second round of the season and been impressive so far.
