2020/21 MTN FA Cup: AshantiGold shock Aduana Stars in six-goal thriller at Dormaa

AshantiGold avoided a second straight defeat to Aduana Stars as they beat the Fire boys to advance to the last eight of this year’s MTN FA Cup.

The Miners who have been struggling in the season are through to the 2020/21 MTN FA Cup quarter-finals at the expense of Aduana Stars following a thrilling clash in Dormaa on Wednesday afternoon.

The Obuasi-based club won 4-2 to join big boys Hearts of Oak, Asante Kotoko and Medeama in the last eight of the competition.

Ashgold took the lead through youngster Gordon Brokelyn after just seven minutes before two quick goals from Mark Agyekum and David Abagna minutes after the halftime break.

Aduana pulled one back but Agyekum got his brace to extend the lead before the final goal of the game was scored by Emmanuel Baffour for the home side through the spot.

The result puts Ashgold in the next round of the MTN FA Cup while Aduana Stars would have to channel their energy in the last two games of the Ghana Premier League to try and secure a top-four place.

The Fire boys defeated the Miners on Monday afternoon in a matchday 32 of the Ghana Premier League at the same venue.
